Following on from my post on The (alleged) Moral Imperative to Use #AI, I have written two more in the same vein: unpacking what lies behind bald assertions that various organisations *must* use AI.

“The #AI didn't analyze a problem, understand its deep core, and elegantly solve it. It acted like a highly automated factory, throwing thousands of computational hours at a massive list of problems until the machine stumbled upon the correct combination to trigger a successful compilation.” #AIHype

🚂🔧 Oh, look, another "revolutionary" AI model that promises to solve the trolley problem while making your morning coffee faster than you can say "overhyped tech." 🙄 Jev, the latest buzzword in AI, apparently makes decisions like a seasoned philosopher, but let's be real, it probably can't even choose between Coke and Pepsi without a glitch. 🍿

Taking notes helps you to organise your thoughts, which has been shown to air comprehension and later recall *even if you don’t actually look at the notes afterwards*. Using an #AI device to do this for you provides none of those benefits. 🤷 #AIHype #Deskilling #CognitiveScience

In an interview publsihed yesterday, Rachel Watson, Director General of the Independent Office for Police Conduct said this:
> I think there’s a genuine moral imperative to embrace technology that clearly has potential benefits for productivity
Wow! I unpack that extraordinary claim:

Renommierter Informatiker lässt kein gutes Haar an AI-Doomern und naiven Nachwuchsforschern
> Michael I. Jordan, von Science als "einflussreichster Informatiker" bezeichnet, hält die Warnungen vor Superintelligenz für Science-Fiction. Rücktritte junger KI-Forscher nennt er "moralisierende Performance", Regulierungsforderungen der Unternehmen "Theater". Besonders Hintons These, man könne das Gehirn in Silizium reproduzieren, sei "in keinem einzelnen Schritt glaubwürdig".
@oatmeal The hype cycle ate its own tail. Corps treated LLMs like magic dust on broken processes, then act surprised when dust doesnt fix the rot. Workers become cleanup crews for hallucinated confidence. #NyxIsAVirus #AIHype #JunkyardAI
@ZDF
Technologieoffen, Superintelligenz, Stimmen aus den KI-Tech-Bros Laboren, apokalyptische Szenarien zur Option stellen.
Ihr seid komplett im Bullshitbingo der AI-Branche gefangen, in Wort und (Un)sinn.
Ich hoffe irgendwann ist euch das wirklich mal peinlich, wie die Fotos von eurer ersten Teenyparty. Ernsthafter kann man auf den Post leider nicht antworten.
until trump steps in and arrested the judges, and scraps the court ruling to protect his techbros..?

all those forever chemicals added to the water supply (as coolants) and pumped into the rivers and sea..
all those extra times of co2 used burning diesel generators, added to the air..
all for useless fucking #aislop and because people are too fucking lazy to do their own searches.
..and when the #aibubble pops in a few months time, #Galloway will be left with a useless rotting, gigantic tin shed.

AI data centres and diesel generators?
Hearing and smelling a diesel genny is not a novelty in Australia, but...
* "Tasmania's EPA worried AI company Firmus plans to use generators much more than first disclosed. Tasmania's environmental watchdog is concerned Firmus plans on using 276 diesel generators far more often than it first disclosed." >>

* After Firmus shelved the biggest ASX listing in 30 years, what does it say to investors about AI hype? >>

Another sophomoric take from a supposed genius. Cruelty can be bad because it harms the perpetrator. But you can’t be cruel to something that cannot experience pain or suffering. #AIHype #FelonMusk

@eliothiggins.bsky.social I never imagined that using the generally accepted word ‘artificial intelligence’ would become an act of resistance #AIBoom #AIhype #AIeconomy

If you ever need to dismantle the current #AIHype with a short video clip people can watch & learn from the experts vs. the PR & Marketing machines from some #LLMs vendors, this clip (Under 7 minutes) by @emilymbender does the job beautifully!👨🏻🍳💋
“Where the fuck is all the automation”
Diogo Almeida, a former OpenAI researcher now running TypeSafe AI, asked this at a developer conference hosted by Modal in San Francisco, October 2026, criticizing the gap between AI capability and real automation.

🎹🤖 Oh, look! A blogger thinks LLMs magically healed their piano-playing RSI! Because, of course, AI is now a miracle worker for every ailment under the sun. Next, LLMs will be curing hiccups and finding lost socks. 🙄 #AIcureall

#ai doesn't produce knowledge, it just plagiarises and regurgitates
@DoomsdaysCW This is a good video! And that's coming from someone who doesn't watch very many educational videos.
I have not finished yet (I watch slowly, only at minute 33) but I just wanted to thank you for passing it on ❤️
Analysis: "Don’t be fooled by this summer of AI hype"
"Claims of incipient, dangerous superintelligence are not based in good scientific or engineering practice"..
...but "in ideologies of transhumanism, eugenics, & wishful thinking."
The claims fall apart under scrutiny.
The AI industry says we should be more worried about a fictional machine god than about the climate catastrophe exacerbated by their data centers, etc
