Heh, part of the reason is that OpenAI stagnated and that most AI products are still dumb.

And people, especially bad actors, use them stupidly too. Like are they running a cot finetune with constrained grammer tuned just for their... Blah blah blah, nope. They're just using cheap OpenAI API, maybe with a jailbreak prompt, if not just prompting the webpage, out of sheer laziness and ignorance.

It's like the discussion of building bear proof garbage containers - the problem for designers is that there is a significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans.

Is it that AI is just dumb and not that good? ... or are we all just so collectively stupid that it doesn't take much to affect how we think and see the world.

AI might not to be so far advanced as we would like to see ... and at the same time, I think we are realizing that collectively, we are overestimating the amount of AI that is needed to affect our absolutely stupid civilization.
