@x_cli There is AI involved in my survival. It’s not genAI. It’s not transcription modeling. It’s not sexy. But it allows me to live.

It’s a light weight system. Sure.

It’s my insulin pump when connected to a CGM.

Stop demonizing actually useful AI.

@bedast @x_cli I think there is a choice of word "AI" triggered so many people. I remember the days, then programs like in your insulin pump named "neural network", "smart control system", etc. And AI was something cool, futuristic and unattainable because we (still) don't know what is the human consciousness and how the human brain works (like we know how the computers works — from machine codes to RTL and tricky transistors placement on the silicon die).

@bedast @x_cli But near 2020 the hype-train and words substituion is started. As a result of all these speculations, it is completely understendable what people going to outrage when they hear about "AI" because for now AI means not the cool thing like in Star Trek, but a stochastical parrot feeded by a stolen data and forcibly inserted in already good things like washing machines to do stupid things like "chat about socks with washing machine" instead of simply push the button.

@bedast @x_cli Neural networks are still OK — there is a good technology started in 1970, which helps people. AI (I mean real AI) — will be cool and futuristic too. But current "AI" (LLM) hype-train is not cool, it is not a future we wanted (who want to live in cyberpunk with "high tech low life"?). Disadvantages we already know. Advantages — may be will be visible when hype train will stop (improved natural language processing? help in decoding old and lost languages?).

One situation changed dramatically between the 70's and now: climate change and the understanding of its anthropic source. From a purely computer/math science standpoint, I share your opinion.
From an holistic standpoint, I consider that all commercial AI are criminal, in the 2020's. I am more lenient regarding models developed by state nations for the purpose of a greater good for all living beings. Incidentally, I don't want any AI in any end consumer product, unless it is scientifically proven (before the model training starts) that it improves the situation regarding the climate crisis.

@bedast @x_cli i thought when it was normal it was "machine learning"
