Part 6/9:
A major concern raised by Zitron pertains to the practical utility of AI. Many claim that tools like ChatGPT are revolutionary; however, Zitron believes they merely replicate existing capabilities. He illustrated that for practical tasks—like summarizing lengthy documents or conducting specific research—AI models like ChatGPT can fall short. “It doesn't know what a cat is; it just guesses,” he said, emphasizing that generative AI relies not on true intelligence but rather on statistical probability.
Moreover, Zitron poignant questioned a possible future where AI is pushed down the throats of consumers despite widespread dissatisfaction. He described the corporate strategy as one built on a “digital tyranny” where users are compelled to adapt to unrefined technology for the sake of profits.
