Amazon had their walk in walk out stores.

AI was meant to track what you put in the basket and charge you without you going through checkout.

They launched as an AI store.

Humans were looking at cases and were just meant to be “error correction”.

They were doing 80% of the work of tracking the images and barcodes into actual products.

Amazon closed the store.

Lots of “AI” systems are currently in this state. A computer can do the easy 10 to 20% of the job. Humans are doing the rest.

Venture capital are just investing in anything that looks like it’s working on “AI”. Even when it’s currently taking more human labour than the work did previously.

Companies are launching now as “AI” gambling on getting that percentage up otherwise they end up late to market. Lots will fail to actually use AI and probably fold.

Except they were basically beyond design life.

And every new plant comes decades late and 4x the original budget.

They need to die. Not be selectively enforced for everyone except those with a multi billion dollar computational model.

Everyone will have the same copyright laws except Microsoft and Google at this rate. That’s worse than where we are now.

Netscape was struck down Firefox rose.
