AI is fantastic.
It's what it's being used for that fucking sucks.
I love reading about shit like "LLMs help scientists develop new pattern-seeking behaviors and theories" and shit. Fucking hate when I see AI art or places trying to 'streamline' their processes with half-assed AI assistance.
More accurate meme:
AI is amazing
AI generated images and text are not
I literally use LLMs every day at work to help me code, and yes they are great, even for senior engineers who know what they're doing, it's like using intellisense or something like resharper on steroids.
Copilot Web, which is just combining Bing's substandard search engine with LLMs, has made it genuinely more useful and accurate than Google.
Capitalism, wildly uneven distribution of societal resources, and exploitation all suck, but what LLMs can do on a technical level is pretty wild and would be universally praised if it weren't for the job loss implications.
AI text and image generation can do awesome things. It doesnt matter because they can also do way worse things. Spam is one example
The same argument can be made about computers or the internet or government or schools or speeches or...
If it does more harm than good, why support it?
The argument you presented in your last comment wasnt 'whether it does more harm than good', but 'whether it can do more harm than good'.
If you want to talk about whether LLMs actually do more harm than good in the present world, then I would challenge you to name an ill effect that's the result of LLMs and not the result of capitalism.
Technology, be it physical, or computer based, has been automating people out of jobs literally since jump. You can either vainly fight technical progress or you can fight for a system that shares the rewards from that progress.
I wasnt clear enough in the first comment
It would be hard to name a bad thing that cant be linked to capitalism. People using AI to claim they did something impressive when they didnt could be an example
Yes, so then maybe the problem is with capitalism, not with new technology.
This is a real "everywhere I poke hurts" ... "Yeah, cause your finger is broken", situation.
