    I think that comparing AI to cocaine is a really good analogy. It gives you that feeling that you are amazing and can do anything, but it's just a feeling, in the end you are just high and sooner or later will have to come back to reality and face a bad implementation or a hangover

      Why don’t you start a company where AI is banned. Surely it will do much better. In fact, you should also believe that most companies will bad AI for the same reason.

      Smh new conspiracy theories every day. “Ai is actually a drug and you only feel that it helps you but it doesn’t”

        I don't use AI and the company I work for is doing just fine. Why don't you take a daily dose of Ketamine, that may give you interesting ideas like it does for Silicon valley "entrepreneurs". Don't you want to be the next Peter Thiel or Elon Musk?

          I would take ketamine if it helps me perform better without adverse side effects.

          You’d rather paint AI as if it were a hard drug to cope with the world changing around you. I mean listen to yourself. Im not the one making conspiracy theories.

            So you would take drugs if they didn't have adverse effects, but you don't want to see the adverse effects of AI. And I'm not talking about addiction, I'm talking about building over-engineered crap and spending money doing so
