For the moment what is unfolding is a dystopia shoved down most people's throats, whether they want it or not.

And the bug is obviously the "AI bug", a foreign body recently introduced. The "bug" can't be our default previous state (no AI).

Hopefully it will be over soon.

You know that the leading AI providers and experts in the field often discuss how AI can/might/surely will wipe us off? Not some random guys with signs in some street corner. The main people behind it.

Now, I don't believe it's so, at least not for the reasons mentioned, like the singularity. But there are very dark results from AI in society and in many domains.

But hey, we can make pretty uncanny valley (for now) videos and special effects! No need to involve or employ humans in our art either. And the human art can be drowned in a sea of AI crap, so noone will really see our AI art either. Such amazing tech /s
