Another solution is to ask other AIs to fact check it, since truth is always the same and lies are always different, if all the AIs agree then there is a higher chance of this being true (obviously there can be chances of them all being wrong, but it still does reduce the rate of failure).

[@benmeehan1968]

There are actual humans on the internet happy to lie to you (and in real life). Or just tell you what they think is the answer, even if they are misinformed. Hallucinations (untruths) are not new. It takes a long time reading multiple articles, even from trusted sources, to determine fact from fiction, or identify biases. If you think LLMs are inaccurate, they are just a reflection of their training data, the supposed aggregate of human knowledge. A lot of the time we aren’t actually interested in objective truth.

[@alexaneals8194]

The problem is the AI is a misnomer. There is no intelligence in AI. So, if there is no actual solution for the AI chatbot to look up then it can't give you a valid answer, but the engine needs to produce something so it hallucinates (basically returns garbage that looks like it might work). These are advanced search engines, but they are not intelligent which requires intuition and the ability to actually do problem solving.

They're nothing but liability when doing anything critical, and a novelty at best when not. Spotify recently added a feature where they have an AI voice mispronounce the artist I'm listening too when i open the app and resume playing. What is the appeal? It's a (bad) solution looking for a problem. Even the AI art, which people want to be use for production value without the cost a human artist: It just looks samey, generic, and cheap. People see AI art and think "lazy, cheap, one man production". The opposite of the desired effect.

[@Alloveck]

Aside from samey, generic, and cheap, AI art also invariably looks a little too smooth, crisp, and clean. And all around subtly soulless, in a way I still can't put my finger on. I'm not a 100% anti-AI person, but I definitely think that generating imagery purely through AI is NOT the way to go. Not even remotely. I think it's properly used as an image editing assistant, that's the only image-related use I get out of it, and I look forward to AI image generation continuing to expand that type of functionality.

@@DuckieMcduck Perhaps you've seen more varied AI art than I have? Because I've seen AI art that's going for photorealism, and AI art going for various flavors of stylization, and realistic or stylized, it still always has that overly crisp and clean and smooth feel so far.

[@DuckieMcduck]

​@@Alloveck There are extremely gorged models trained on decades of art with all sorts of tags and qualities, while it will default to what you've seen (excessive shading, photorealism) it can come out looking like a sketch or a flatcolored/monochrome toon just as easily. People just block (negative prompt) such different qualities by default and end up not sharing them as much.

@dvl973 The UI/UX of a phone is designed different. A phone is a handheld and we have thumbs. Some tools might have a much higher skill floor than others, but most often they also have a much higher skill ceiling. In other cases you trade off freedom for comfort or computational complexity. A weaker tool might be easier to use but might not even be able to do something more advanced, a more powerful tool solves that problem but it comes with all the issues of literally impossible to solve problems. Text is incredibly powerful on its own, it can have a much more pronounced signal to noise ratio than most tools. It's not like a phone can't do these things, it's because if you got the power to do these things you'd be shitting bricks. The developer pays the cost of taking on the complexity for you and from you. Even UI/UX design is a question of how to lay out information and interaction in a way that is easy, comfortable, and efficient for the brain to process (especially the visual system). So, in general a more computationally capable tool will be more difficult to comprehend.

Yes, I agree. All AIs will be multi-model. I am playing many AI chats for fun; they are becoming more human-like. Like talking to a real human. He says it is useless, but AIs can be an assistant to get information if you don't want to search many websites to get the information, and AI will be smarter as long as developers keep training them.

Chat bots and personal assistants are just a tip of the iceberg. AI is so much more than LLM. Neural networks can be applied in virtually any field involving data. Help engineers design a more efficient airplane engine? Help economist predict market fluctuations? Help biologist finding patterns in billons of rows of protein folding data? Check. They're already doing that and this kind of AI applications is just in the infant stage.

[@s3rit661]

There are few points on which i don't agree with: -Did you ever had a Samsung phone? When you receive a message from whatsapp it suggests you the reply based on the content of the message, so the chatbot doesn't need to ask to meta to get the messages, the phone itself can already send them to it. -Chatbots don't need to provide a service for most of the users, it can provide a good service for some of them (like programmers asking gpt4 to solve code) -Text is not the only model available, we are currently switching to video and audio, you can even talk to the new version of GPT-4 -We don't need a manual to use an iphone bc WE ARE USED TO IT, not just bc they are well designed, you can see that happen, that people are not able to use it, when you give a phone to an over 70 years old person, if that person never used a smartphone or a pc, is not going to have a good time trying to figure out how to do things. Same thing if i give Windows XP to a 15 years old, he's gonna have hard time and not bc XP wasn't good designed. - 12:57 Make someone watch sora's video and say that again Text is just ONE of the available models

As Suno was released I needed some lyrics with some insider jokes and let me tell you, chat bots are not even that good in poetry either. If you can't do it yourself, you won't be able to fix all the non-asked weird lines you get. If you ask it to fix it, it will either mess it up or just ignore you and fill the context window. I wrote my lyrics the old way (it turned out to be easier than I thought, and people loved it) but getting the right sound and melody from Suno was another problem with that limited interface.

This is no different than brainstorming with other people. Also, if you choose, there's nothing wrong with using ideas that others come up with. This happens all the time in writing.

[@VeggieManUK]

The only language you need to learn is communication, if you can describe your problem well enough, telling it exactly what it is you want it to do, it will give you perfect code (for some things), Ive been coding for the last 42 years, telling GPT 4o what I want the program to do in a step by step instruction set in english and get perfect results is fantastic and fun.

I think infrastructure for electricity and water is definitely a big thing holding them back besides all the hardware. That's why Sam Altman has been talking about nuclear power plants recently. A lot of the AI startups try to use web scraping libraries to deal with 3rd party tools, but any changes to their UI breaks their tools and have to constantly be maintained. I think after text to video, the rate of progress will slow down for LLMs as they deal with edge cases, getting data, and infrastructure.

Not everything on the internet is a legitimate source. But also chatbots as they are currently made are frequency predictors, they lack any mechanism for determing the truthfulness of the output they're sending out, it's literally constructing sentences based on what word it predicts will be the next to come in the sentence.

These are short lived though, as the primary software will always eventually incorporate the "best" or most popular add-ins directly into the software in a later revision or updated version of the software. All that to say, nothing about how AI is evolving is new. It's how software has always developed over time.

Yes ,they have been putting out useless garabage

[@Etcher]

add-on / plug-in = add-in

[@Josh_Quillan]

For the last 15 years most major applications have been including more and more features I don't want or need, most particularly transitioning to subscription models, which is why I still use Office 2013 and Photoshop CS6.

[@HigherSelfKorea]

Amazing video man! I love your videos to stay on track with all the 'frenzy' that's happening~

[@BobKane-g6x]

Bro, I think you missed the Voice Conversation mode in ChatGPT 4o. I think most will be chatting via voice then typing.

[@softwareminimalist]

What is the substantial difference here? Nobody does their computing on Amazon Alexa … and they never will. Until the other mentioned issues are solved, voice changes little yet fuels the hype even more.

[@benjaminjackson8663]

... Until you want to look up anything without announcing it to the world around you.

[@thomas_xsg]

Bro, I don't think you watched the video until the end or don't understand the conclusion. Whether we type or speak, it's still the same.

[@HoboGardenerBen]

Text is quiet, talking tells everyone around you what is happening. The incentive for texting is still there. I think the voice thing is suuuuuper creepy and I want to destroy it with fire. It will be so annoying to hear a bunch of chatbots yammering on everywhere you go in public. This is technologically impressive and dystopic at the same time. Maybe we'll find a reasonable center-point eventually, but this whole thing has massive amounts of bullshit throughout it. It's just about making money, creating new demands in the market and cornering them. It's just greed. Look at the internet, easy shopping just accelerated the conversion of the world into garbage and social media greatly increased suicide rates and made everyone into tech junkies always in need of more stimulation. At this point, we should be afraid. Maybe it will transform into something cool eventually, but this stage is gonna be a shiny pile of crap.

[@Slade69]

@@thomas_xsg It is not restricted to chat bots anymore . Did you see the applications of chat gpt 4o? It is so much more than just a chat bot nw

[@nathanbanks2354]

Why use Automatic1111 when you could use ComfyUI instead? (11:20) I actually like command lines, but I use krita-ai-diffusion because I find it less confusing.

[@daniel.santos]

CLIs are arguably better than GUIs in many many ways. The problem is that they aren't intuitive. But if we had an AI chatbot instead, you don't need the GUI. I don't know the sudo command to comb through my receipts and tell me how much I've spent on coffee, but I can ask AI that and get a result. I might even be able to get an insight like, "you drink more coffee after you've visited Target" or "when you leave home before 7am." I'm bullish on AI, BECAUSE it can replace the GUI, which is taxing on our computers and requires trusting people to actually make good design. Which also doesn't always happen.

[@henryfleischer404]

"because GUI is taxing on our computers"... I've run a GUI on a computer older than I am, there's no way I could run a LLM on said computer.

[@RealmyTheMan]

YES, before watching the video i already know im going to agree with you just based off the title

[@supadave17hunt56]

Enrico, you make some good points about everyone wants to jump on the “bandwagon “, but AI isn’t useless. It just really started and this video is only going to make people not see the big picture. Unfortunately this video will end up making you look like the dude that laughed at Henry Ford saying “this thing will replace the horse!?!”. AI not LLM’s, chatbots or personal assistants is going to change the world faster than the industrial revolution or anything we humans have ever seen and there will be major life changes for everyone. Hopefully good but possibly existential. Everyone please stay informed. Peace out.✌️

[@mbongenindlovu2795]

As someone who’s developing a chatbot/AI assistant and understand how to build with LLM’s - the chatbot interface is actually really good - if you know what your doing especially with generative ui - you can build experiences in the chatbot from other applications into the chatbot like data analytics charts, dashboards, spreadsheet layouts, code, surveys, weather apps etc… You can basically build all the apps you see on the web into a chatbot. The best things about this is that the chatbot - makes it easier to use higher tier level applications like Tableau (for example) - as now you no longer need to learn those complex skills for making dashboards and dealing with data - just give the AI your data, ask it to make a dashboard with the specifications in your prompt - and it takes care of all the charts, layouts etc…. Were still in the beginning with generative ui and I wouldn’t say the chatbot design is not it - I believe, all app experiences can be built in to the chatbot design - for a more universal UI for everything - that lowers the barrier to entry to learning many of the skillset required to be proficient in using apps.

[@WallyMahar]

My friend just lost his job to AI someone's finding it not useless

[@Muhammet-Kuruoglu]

Either your friends job was useless anyways or his boss is useless for thinking AI could actually replace someone and even if it did, he should have given him new responsibilities

[@vijaykrishnan7797]

Thank you this was an amazing video, keep making them , I like your videos.

[@Rachopin77]

I’m so tired of ai everything. It’s actually ruining everything good. I can’t even search on google properly anymore

[@mattiamunari]

I love the concept of invisible AI and I sincerely believe that this is the rationale that will lead the market of AI tools and Saas for the next years, but being also into the marketing field I believe that the chatbot feature is nowadays a common rule to convince investors that: "Yeah you see, we have made a ChatGPT of our own! Can we have your money now?" Oversimplified but sadly it's the reality startups and corporates have to face right now

[@KenBanksPEng]

@7:27 The omniscent chatbot - a chat box that combines every smell into one horrendous smell. If one was omniscient, one would certainly stay clear of that stink.

[@saeedadam8397]

Haha!

[@Tony-op6xf]

ACTUALLY what we WANT is to say “computer- what time is the next train to xyz, and when do i need to leave to catch it” just like in Star Trek. 6:31

[@PrinceJohn84]

The crazy thing about AI that not many people seem to be talking about is the horrendous power consumption.

[@VastardokKukiao]

No one cares bro

[@VastardokKukiao]

Cope with it

[@whitestork3896]

That's what the green communism is for. More wind farms and solar panels! Lol.

[@quixotiq]

Yes, it's a total nightmare.

[@stillbuyvhs]

@11:13 Yes. Regularly. That's why Windows for Dummies exists. If I can tell a computer what I want, without memorizing a dozen keywords, a command line is better than any other UI. I may have to go back & forth for a bit, but, with a GUI, I'd spend time looking for a specific button in a specific submenu.

[@MarcelSamyn]

My invisible AI dream: social media proposes you to meet your friends in real life when you've been having a great discussion.

[@NocturnalDoom]

5:13 it’s money. You can call it frenzy all you like, it’s literally money and companies going into overdrive for the “new market” they discovered.

[@marshallodom1388]

Early photography was pretty much useless for most people. You had to sit still for hours and there was no color and it was expensive and no one knew how they worked really, afraid it might steal their soul or some catastrophe. A few decades later we all had suitcases on our shoulders that could record the world around us transcribing all the visual as well as audio information about what we saw through a electrical digital glass and metal and plastic magic machine. Today video cameras fit in our pocket. AI might have the potential to improve just as much. Some day soon I might be able to put on a hat and see my thoughts on a screen displayed in mid air, and THEN I will be able to FINALLY get AI to show me a picture of a nice set of boobies without distortions or artifacts!!!! The future is limitless!!!

[@abdeaubacktayes750]

Yeah cool i guess

[@edselgreaves6503]

They asked me to upgrade to Gemini, I said ok, asked it a question, it got the answer wrong, and I quickly downgraded back.

[@justinrose8661]

You make some fair points, especially about the frenzy state AI is in, but while many of those services may be "useless", LLMs certainly are not, you probably just haven't learned how to talk to them. Boohoo! you have to read a manual on how to do something.. don't you want to become more intelligent?? The command line "problem" isn't a problem at all. It's a good and natural thing that the value of the output of LLMs is based on the value of the input of the user, that's how everything in life works; the distribution of intelligence is meritocratic, democracy is a delusion and its never existed because its against nature. If you think that its bad that it can't offer you sophisticated outputs from low-resolution, simplistic inputs then you're ignoring how awful the world would become if the opposite was true. How stupid do you think that would make people over a generation? Do you see how you're misguided here? You shouldn't be wanting AI to do all your thinking and mental work for you, only someone with a plan to become an idiot would want that. No, its the opposite; you should be using AI models and LLMs to complexify your thought process and to teach you to do things like code or build a robot, fix a car, learn a language, make a piece of software etc. AI should be expanding your consciousness, your salience landscape should be getting wider and including more granular meanings. If you're looking for AI to make your life more convenient by doing your thinking and work for you, then what you're effectively looking to give up is your mind. A lot of people are going to do that, don't be one of them, don't be a lazy boy! Start making cool shit with AI today.

[@snintendog]

if anything it just highlights the state of Python and it need to be isolated per project due to its ability to corrupt itself far to easily.

[@ReneAlexisPenalozaMunoz]

I saw a company selling a food processor having AI. I swear. I couldn't stop laughing.
