My latest cartoon about how tech companies promote AI to regulators and to venture capitalists. It has always struck me as outrageous how tech companies so eagerly keep mentioning how their AI will eliminate jobs or potentially kill all humans. That’s not a normal way to ingratiate your technology to the world. I believe they do it to excite the venture capitalists and spark investment.
Unfortunately, touting AI as helping modestly with mundane tasks doesn’t inspire big money. Companies hype AI as powerful rather than as helpful. They think AI that takes over your work is better than AI that makes your work more efficient.
