Just because you can use hammers to hurt people doesn’t mean we should ban all hammers.
And just because people keep hammering screws doesn’t mean hammers aren’t useful.
The current technology is a dead end, and we need to go back to the drawing board with it.
But before we can do that, we need to sell the current version, because we lost a lot of money on it…
No Ai without UBI. Should have started UBI at least at the industrial revolution.
AI is a tool. Misuse it and it sucks.
under capitalism every tool is a tool for capitalism and will be misused.
That’s right.
AI is a tool to transfer even more wealth, under the current conditions.
GenAIs are a mistake, but corps decided to stuff billions into it, and they want their money back.
Sounds like “the purpose of the system is what it does.” Every invention that gets funding does that. I watched the development of ML techniques over the last decade or so; none of the researchers developing AI would have said that was the purpose. They had much loftier hopes for AI.
Yet the owners don’t care.
I hate that it’s pushed as a holy grail.
You can also misuse it and it sucks (NSFW).
requiring state of the art GPU for a flesh light Is some kind of Futurama joke that i missed because I never watched Futurama.
LLMs seem to be a great for translations and… transcriptions?
I know Google sucks, but I will give a little credit to the newer Pixels’ “Circle to Search” feature. It’s nice to pull up an image and just circle search it and see where it came from, or the context behind it, etc etc.
Circle Search and the two you mention are probably the only actually useful things to come out of AI so far.
They really are! We should use tools for what they are good at and not try to cram AI into everything. Something something hammer, nail, right?
Yes. It’s normal human behaviour. There is a hype, then a bubble, then… normalization.
Multimedia, keychain, blue LEDs, curved LCD screens, LLMs,… One of them is way less useful than the others.; P
Summary stuff works really well too - I like to be able to bookmark a page and have tags/brief summary auto-gen’d
Most of the time these abstracts are fine. But I’m wary of it because of the cases where it doesn’t. :)
yeah, but for my personal bookmarks a hallucination is not a big deal, not exactly mission-critical lol
Like everything else since the advent of harnessing fire, it’s a double edged sword that can be used for good and evil.
AI sucks, but HR sent me some forms to fill in and I would rather a shitty corpospeak AI response than putting effort into answering it myself.
I used to be excited for AI advancements 3 years ago. Now the situation is just trash. Good times when generating a Godzilla farting fire on a city was fun and cool
While AI offers transformative potential, significant criticisms highlight its drawbacks. Current systems often perpetuate biases embedded in training data, leading to discriminatory outcomes in hiring, law enforcement, and lending. The environmental cost of training large models—like massive energy consumption and carbon emissions—raises sustainability concerns. Automation driven by AI threatens job displacement, exacerbating economic inequality, while opaque “black-box” algorithms undermine accountability in critical domains like healthcare or criminal justice. Privacy erosion, through pervasive surveillance and data exploitation, further fuels distrust. Though AI’s capabilities are impressive, its unchecked deployment risks deepening societal inequities and prioritizing efficiency over ethical considerations.
Ai sucks
Right should be “there is no AI”
Nah the guy on the right understands that AI means almost anything. Hell, even the A* pathfinding algorithm falls under the realm of AI.
Fucking thank you! I swear way too many people think that if it ain’t Data from Star Trek, then it’s not real AI.
Its like these people don’t understand language changes overtime, it doesn’t matter what ai used to mean it matters what it means now
What exactly does it mean right now?
LLMs
Who decides that?
Scientific consensus. But it’s not “LLMs”. AI covers multitudes of methods, algorithms, models. LLMs fall into sequence modeling / prediction, usually based on transformers nowadays, which is a method from machine learning, which itself is a big branch inside of the term “AI”.
Society collectively when, whenever a person or company talks about AI, they’re talking about chatgpt, Gemini, deepseek, ollama, or whatever other LLM you want to substitute it for
A NAND gate is AI
AI is a useful tool even in its current condition. And it has perspectives. It is mostly overcharging artists and SEO spammers who are against it.
Why would SEO spammers be against it?
Because those “AI” are very good at writing keyword-ridded gibberish making SEO spammers obsolete. 1 SEO spam admin can “work” as a hundred human shit article concocters.
The same thing with artists. They used to get a few bucks for primitive images. Most of those artists are actually unable to draw anything but “primitive images”. “AI” throws them away from the market.
Do you have no understanding of anything ever.
Do you think good artists just magically appear
Few artists overcharge. That’s a strawman. Most massively undercharge
