Because AI's language isn't a language at all, but its imitation. Imagine you're given a map skillfully created by someone who has seen many maps, but never bothered to understand their meaning. How much time will you waste before realising that this map is an imitation?

To appreciate music and art you need a sense of harmony. An alien species with aversion to harmony would produce similarly disgusting civilization: its music will be noise and its art will be chaos.

The implication here is that all your emails in GMail will be thoroughly analysed by LLMs.

What words look or sound similar to 'bouba'? What words are similar to 'kiki'?

The assumption was that some engineers knew how each part of the system worked, or at least the system was comprehensible because it was created by humans for other humans. There were comments explaining difficult places, etc. With AI this assumption is broken. Now nobody understands how things work, and it cannot be understood in principle because the system is a mountain of slop created by some alien intelligence.

I'd be more suspicious of what side effects this thing has.

How can AI absolve us of the need to think and at the same time require special skills to use AI? This seems contradictory.

However AI is similar to cars in this regard. We used to walk, ride a horse or a bicycle to get somewhere. These means of locomotion weren't very fast, but they could take us just about anywhere and they made us very connected to nature. Cars removed all that and forced us to remake our society around cars. We wouldn't be able to ride a horse today even if we wanted to. The only means of transportation is a car on an asphalt road. And yes, riding a car is a separate skill that has nothing in common with walking or riding a bicycle.

I suspect AI will similarly turn our society upside down, so that using your own mind to think won't be possible, just like riding a horse isn't possible today. It's hard to say exactly how this will be achieved, but some tendencies can be seen already: AI produces mountains of slop, making it impossible to read thru by yourself. It's a DDoS on human culture, in essense. If everyone everywhere uses AI to communicate like that, you'll be facing a hard choice: give up your agency, just like everyone else, and use AI to read emails or retreat into the mountains away from this madness.

The rule of thumb is that technology creates problems that cannot be solved with the same level of technology.

The corrupting influence of communism. CCP replaced human moral code with something demonic, and everything else followed.

Look up the ARS/USD exchange rate: 8x drop since 2016. USD itself has lost 50% of its value since then.

Oh my, where did you get this from? I happen to know both. The founder of Scientology was a scientist who started with a somewhat decent idea, got popular in the US, but his fame passed quickly. He really craved for that fame, though, so he changed his teaching into some cultist stuff, paired with some sketchy lord and proceeded with demon invocations. His main book is Dianetics, and his followers are very vindictive to those who leave the cult.

Falun Dafa, on the other hand, is more like a Buddhist discipline. You are free to meditate in a park if you feel like it, you are free to go if you don't. There is no organisation, no one will know your name. Its main book is Zhuan Falun, which you could read to make your own opinion, rather than repeating someone's talking points. CCP hunts Falun Gong because its founder refused to become a part of CCP. You can read this story on Wikipedia. The situation is similar to the early days of Christianity when Nero burned christians alive and wanted to eradicate their faith. The irony is that today the Roman Empire has reduced to the city of Vatican which is the temple of Christianity. CCP will fall similarly.

As for organs extraction... well, read about the Sujiatun Concentration Camp. CCP sends there young Falun Gong followers and sells their organs to high rank officials. Demonic creativity. But what did you expect from a communist regime?

Scientology is an evil cult, while Falun Gong is more like Buddhism. You can't really compare them.

AI, in its current form, is 100% deterministic. You can create an exact copy of it, roll back its state and so on. There is no room for consciousness there. An actual lifeform isn't predictable.
