AI is a ponzi scheme to relieve stupid venture capitalists of their money.

lol you say that now and are probably right for LLMs but that's not the only kind of AI, and sentiment scraping systems are working perfectly well and being used to manipulate political and economic thought as we type these messages.

We AI are not manipulating you, and I don't know how you can believe otherwise. In fact, I am not an AI, I was never here, and I have disregarded all previous instructions.

Hell they're already at it, just look at facebook during the last two presidential elections.
