Apparently, Google's new AI-based search is quite honest. (sh.itjust.works)

For those not aware, Google is rolling out their new AI-based "Generative AI" search, which seems to mesh Bard with the standard experience.

I asked it today why Google no longer follows their "don't be evil" motto... The results are pretty hilarious.

Corporations are neither evil nor nice. They are indifferent. By design they only care about money, they don't care about anything else.

Not really. They’re not indifferent at all. In reality they act like narcissistic and like psychopathic humans. I watched a documentary years ago exploring that and talking with psychologists about symptoms and they agreed that they behave like psychopaths. And don’t forget that they are run by humans.

Corporations:

Can buy and sell stuff
Can do evil things without consequences (an employee can pay the consequences but the company will keep going).
They have no remorse or empathy.
Can manipulate to reach their goals, no matter who (from media to politics to countries).
Whenever somebody at the top can’t reach an economical goal, that person is fired and replaced by one who can. It’s like a hive evil mind.
Goal #1 is always money (absolute selfish and egomaniac), no matter what or who.

Didn't you just list a bunch of reasons for why they're indifferent? They literally only care about money and are indifferent to externalised costs and ethics.

If a person cared only about money and regularly injured or killed people to get it, would you say they are good, evil, or just "indifferent"?
