Does anyone else hate AI?

@Corngold Many reasons. Among them, with no patents, there would be no reason to push Prozac over orange juice and vitamin B1.

this thread is the virgin AI hater vs. the chad LLM appreciator meme

@pittybitty I disagree, AI's like ChatGPT collate and retrieve information for us in a way that we have naturally done for ourselves up until this point, removing the need for us to do this day to day will cause skill-fade and lethargy in this aspect.
It's like having a parent you listen to without any real challenge, except you are meant to stop listening to your parents to some degree, go out and figure things out for yourself from adolescence.
This stops us from doing that, stifling growth in the soul.If they were just complex search engines then you would only need a good RAG and a tiny neural net, many successful AI's (like GPT) don't use RAGs at all and are huge neural nets.

I'm not aware M"L" has pushed patent instrumentation to the chopping block in any way. It's just copyright afaik. Not much seems to have changed there, patent registers are already public in-formation and the degree to which a person can be inspired by something they can find on one is still a legal minefield.
Meanwhile a computational mechanism to resolve knowledge conflicts doesn't exist yet. So an "N"N isn't particularly useful to rule on legal matters. And the reason they may currently be useful in "medicine" is because the adjacent legal industrial complex can make practice appear boolean.
China's struggled with this too. Their dance with corporatism makes for a fascinating read I'm nowhere near done with.

Which way though Peatful. Rah's a heat seeker of sorts. And a way with words.

@Corngold I get the argument about AI/LLMs being decent search engines - and it is true Google has been declining as well (you just get the worst shit on the top SERPs).
Though I think you could make a convincing argument that getting your information "served on a silver platter" instead of actually reading and digesting primary information and drawing your own conclusions, in fact, is dumbing down people and inhibiting the creative process.
However I am not primarily thinking about LLMs application as a fancy search engine, it's more how it will come to shape the culture and language.
Already, pretty much all organisations/companies are on board with using AI to create content, which means that 1. employees are not exercising their creative abilities and 2. it means that people are only coming into contact with words and pictures that are cobbled together by a stupid AI algorithm. This to me seems almost like a nightmare when nothing is actually produced by humans? It is certainly going to make everything feel a lot soulless. What are the long-term implications? Etc etc etc

Off topic but I think the internet officially became useful when Russia gave us sci-hub on top of social media. An NN can't make sense of that. Yet.

The power that is being given to AI to make health safety decisions is getting scary.
Garbage in, garbage out.

@DavidPS said in Does anyone else hate AI?:
Garbage in, garbage out.
I can envision a future in which an AI robot fills the void created by Toni Fauci's retirement and declares "I am the science".
