You're not going to develop AI for the benefit of humanity at Microsoft. If they go there, we'll know "Open"AI's mission was all a lie.
Yeah Microsoft is definitely not going to be benevolent. But I saw this as a foregone conclusion since AI is so disruptive that heavy commercialization is inevitable.
We likely won't have free access like we do now and it will be enshittified like everything else now and we'll need to pay yet another subscription to even access it.
"Hey Bing AI can I get a recipe that includes cinnamon"
"Sure! Before we begin did you hear about the great Black Friday deals at Sephora"
"Not interested"
"No problem. You're using query 9 of 20 this month. Do you want to proceed?"
"Yes"
"Before we begin, Bing Max+ has a one month trial starting at just $1 for your first month*. Want to give that a try?"
"Not now"
"No problem. With cinnamon you can make Cinnamon Rolls"
"What else?"
"Sure! You are using query 10 of 20 this month. Before I continue did you hear the McRib is back for a limited time at McDonald's. (ba, da, ba, ba, ba) I'm lovin' it."
Fuckin' eerie.
