September 27, 2025Sep 27 Popular Post It feels like we’re already reaching the over saturation point where people just tune out on anything they see that was made with AI. The timing is almost ironic. Just as the technology becomes better, smoother, and more realistic, the appetite for it seems to be fading fast. The real problem for me is the flood of synthetic voices, auto-generated music, and endless AI videos and images that all blur into the same thing. It creates a kind of “hyper reality” that feels more draining than captivating. Honestly, AI seemed more useful when it stuck to being a smart text editor or research tool. Beyond that, do we really need it trying to replace everything?

September 28, 2025Sep 28 The inundation of AI media, especially all the TikTok, YouTube, etc. content isn't what AI is about for the big boys. All that is a distraction "bread and circuses" while they build their utopian digital world that they have complete control over.
September 28, 2025Sep 28 The AI bubble is the only thing keeping the US economy together, Deutsche Bank warns. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED: Warnings about the overinflated prospects of a still-hypothetical "AI economy" continue to mount. Some analysts expect the AI bubble to burst sooner rather than later, arguing that current investment growth cannot continue indefinitely in a finite world. According to a research note recently sent to clients by Deutsche Bank, the AI boom is currently helping the US economy avoid a recession but it cannot continue indefinitely. George Saravelos, Global Head of FX Research at Deutsche Bank, said the US would be close to a recession this year if Big Tech were not spending so heavily on building new AI data centers. The "AI machines" are literally saving the US economy right now, Saravelos said, but this kind of growth cannot be sustained unless spending remains on an ever-growing course. Nvidia, the major supplier of powerful AI accelerators used in data centers, could potentially bear much of the residual growth the US economy has experienced in recent months. https://www.techspot.com/news/109626-ai-bubble-only-thing-keeping-us-economy-together.html
September 28, 2025Sep 28 Some of the results provided by AI are really lame. I asked ChatGPT if Thaiairways had an office in Pattaya. It came up with the address that has been permanently closed since Covid. A quick check in Google Maps showed me the address as permanently closed.

I asked a question about a person who makes a regular appearance on a weekly radio show I listen to. The answer provided said she died recently and even mentioned the church where her funeral service was held... She might be old, but as of yesterday she was still broadcasting live on the radio...

September 28, 2025Sep 28 Good for summarising searches etc, but probably shouldn't be employed to look at peoples' lives too mutt. It makes folk tentative and even more divisive. Anyway, OP is probably AI for all we know.

Same on Caroline Flashback. Bill Rollins show on Friday evening, when he gives out his email address for requests. He died a year ago. When I questioned it, the reply said that his family were so happy that he is still broadcasting. Hahah.

September 28, 2025Sep 28 AI is a tool. You can use a tool correctly or incorrectly. You can use it to make beautiful, wondrous things or create total garbage. It just depends on who and how you use it. You can trust good-quality tools to work well. You can be sure that poor-quality tools may let you down. Regardless of your choice of tools, a wise person double-checks their work for inaccuracies. That is NOT being done very often with the general public's use of AI.

AI is the only major growth story fueling the US economy right now. At least 90% of these AI companies aren't making any money. But there's lots of money being pumped in on hopium. The only company really making money from it is Nvidia and they are not an AI company, they're just a chipmaker. MarketWatch also published an article about it yesterday titled "The AI trade increasingly hinges on OpenAI — and that’s a big risk for the entire market". https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-ai-trade-increasingly-hinges-on-openai-and-thats-a-big-risk-for-the-entire-market-aef0cf3c And Fortune published a similar article earlier this week about the Deutsche Bank predictions titled "The AI boom is unsustainable unless tech spending goes ‘parabolic,’ Deutsche Bank warns: ‘This is highly unlikely’". https://fortune.com/2025/09/23/ai-boom-unsustainable-tech-spending-parabolic-deutsche-bank/
