  • Personally, my money’s on them being thoroughly lost in the AI safety sauce - the idea of AI going rogue has been a staple in pop culture for quite a long time (TV Tropes lists a lot of examples), and the relentless anthropomorphisation of LLMs makes it pretty easy to frame whatever fuck-ups they make as a sentient AI pulling malicious shit.

    And given man’s long and storied history of manipulating and misleading their fellow man, I can see plenty of opportunity for fuck-ups baked directly into your average LLM’s training data.

    Y’know, if Apple had simply removed the AI altogether and went with that as a marketing point, people would probably buy more iPhones.

    At the bare minimum, AI wouldn’t be actively driving people away from buying them.
