According to some meme I saw, it's gonna fuck your wife in 2025.

I like the art... and the use as DM in RPGs looks promising.

I hated it when everything became 'smart'.

Now everything has 'AI'.

Nothing was smart. And that's not AI.

Everything costs more, everything has a stupid app that gets abandoned, IoT backend that's on life support the moment it was turned on. Subscriptions everywhere! Everything is built with lower quality, lower standards.

they don't care. you're not the audience. the tech industry lives on hype. now it's ai because before that they did it with nft and that failed. and crypto failed. tech needs a grift going to keep investors investing. when the bubble bursts again they'll come up with some other bullshit grift because making useful things is hard work.

The problem isn't AI. The problem is greedy, clueless management pushing half baked products of dubious value on consumers.

I kind of like AI, sorry.

But it should all be freely available & completely open sourced since they were all built with our collective knowledge. The crass commercialization/hoarding is what's gross.

Yeah. I've been interested in AI for most of my life. I've followed AI developments, and tinkered with a lot of AI stuff myself. I was pretty excited when ChatGPT first launched... but that excitement turned very sour after about a month.

I hate what the world has become. Money corrupts everything. We get the cheapest most exploitative version of every possible idea, and when it comes to AI - that's pretty big net negative on the world.

I like what we could be doing with AI.

For example there's one AI that I read about awhile back that was given data sets on all the known human diseases and the medications that are used to treat them.

Then it was given data sets of all the known chemical compounds(or something like that, can't remember the exact wording)

Then it was used to find new potential treatments for diseases. Like new antibiotics. Basically it gives medical researchers leads to follow.

That's fucking cool and beneficial to everyone. It's a wonderful application of the tech. Do more of that please.

What you are talking about is machine learning which is called AI. What the post is talking about is LLMs which are also called AI.

AI by definition means anything that exhibits intelligent behavior and it is not natural in nature.

So when you use GMaps to find the shortest path between 2 points that's also AI (specifically called local search).

It is pointless to argue/discuss AI if nobody even know which type they are specifically talking about.

I got a christmas card from my company. As a part of the christmas greeting, they promoted AI, something to the extent of "We wish you a merry christmas, much like the growth of AI technologies within our company" or something like that.

Please no.

Same, and same....

But then we wouldn't have to pay real artists for real art anymore, and we could finally just let them starve to death!

In film school (25 years ago), there was a lot of discussion around whether or not commerce was antithetical to art. I think it’s pretty clear now that it is. As commercial media leans more on AI, I hope the silver lining will be a modern Renaissance of art as (meaningful but unprofitable) creative expression.
