    There is NO justification for privately owned corporate AI.

    Not that I actually like it, but I think privately owned corporate AI isn’t the primary problem. It’s the broken market that is the real problem creating some insane bubble that can (temporarily at best - but who cares for long-term effects nowadays) only be sustained by shoe-horning AI into 1001 applications that it can’t fullfil properly.

    Corporations competing with actual applications in fields where AI makes sense wouldn’t be a problem, corporations competing for insane sums of financing by outpacing each other in terms of lies, fairy tales and trust-me-bro pseudo-science statements are. Because with insane amounts of money and nothing to actually show they instead spend a fraction of it on PR bullshit to advertise AI use in cases where it doesn’t make sense, to get more money again. Rinse and repeat, with no actual value created.
