 @escarpment @carnage4life Will some of the tech that OpenAI/Google/etc. built in making these generative systems be useful in the future? Definitely. Are LLMs AI? No. Will they eventually be AI? No. Should they be used for anything other than a lark? No. And that's the problem. The companies that invested $Billions into LLM are *never* going to see a return. (Even if you ignore the copyright theft angle - which they are eager to do.) 3 comments
@tob @carnage4life I can't really comment on the "politics" of the technology- who's trying to hype what; who's overstating potential applications. My personal view is that this technology is way more interesting than bitcoin. I think people are way too quick to dismiss it as not artificial intelligence when it passes a bunch of tests for intelligence that psychologists had devised to characterize human and animal intelligence. @tob @carnage4life I also can't deny the applications I have seen with my own eyes: I ask it software programming questions and it helps me come to a solution. I've seen it hooked up to a robot and make the robot pretty "intelligent". |

@escarpment @carnage4life And that problem, that they've invested $$$ in a technology that's not worth $$$ is what's putting AI in the bitcoin category.
These companies now have to convince other companies that they *NEED* their worthless tech and must spend $$$ to get it.
The optimal outcome for OpenAI/Bard/etc. is an "Emperor's New Clothes" scenario where so many big players have bought in to the BS that no one dares say it's BS.
