Hilarious cartoon that captures more than it intends to, missing the fact that deep learning, with its toxic language, bias, unreliability, and tendency towards fabricating misinformation, runs roughshod over human values. Thanks @plinz for capturing the situation so well!

AI has become Sauron’s ring. AI didn’t *have* to go down such a shitty path of enabling and accelerating surveillance capitalism, misinformation, nonconsensual deepfake porn, IP theft, etc. It could have focused its energies more on science, education and medicine (hats off to @demishassabis and others for still pursuing that dream). But the science has been corrupted by money. Incredibly depressing for those of us who love AI but have no chance but to speak out daily about what it is becoming. I cry for what it has become, and the increasing tone deafness of most of those in power. I pray that we can return to AI that is genuinely in the public interest.
