Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I know this isn't wallstreetbets but I can't help but wonder if this is a more secure investment than the usual S&P500.

Not investing in AI can also be an ethics thing, not just because you expect to gain more money

If it’s your money, it’s your call. I'm just a guy on the internet. I tried to cover your response using "ideological reasons".

All i tried doing was to answer the question given "Is this good?". And the answer is: This is neither a prediction for the future of ai nor the inception of a solid financial product, but rather a cash grab based on a currently trending sentiment.

a cash grab based on a currently trending sentiment.

If that sentiment turns out to be accurate (AI products do not add value to a company) an index like this would make sense, right? Most indexes leave out speculative assets like crypto and gold. At this stage the value of LLM technology is still speculative.

I'm not an expert here, just trying to understand what makes this much different from any other ETF investors expect could outperform the market.
