As someone who works in AI, but for use in biomedical research applications, I really hate that LLM's and other generative models have taken so much spotlight and hype.

[@kinggeocat]

Fr tho like why focus on generated images when we have ARTISTS, that you can even find for often just as much as the ai subscription services, sometimes even less. Artists have always struggled in financial status. And even more so now, because of the ai. We are real people, and ai bros only create more problems affecting REAL people

[@minhuang8848]

LLMs are absolutely deserving of the hype, even rigorous AI research can do so much with this core substrate for computation and reasoning in general. I somewhat agree with pictures, every stupid video essay gets caught up on them, like close-to-perfect translations from and into Japanese or Chinese weren't insanely impressive and literally eliminated the biggest part of all worldwide localization industries overnight - but even then it's highly promising in many diagnostic and research-oriented disciplines, for, say, biology where you're dealing with very broken datasets. I mean, people naysaying AI are lost in their sauce anyway. It's kind of a good heuristic, if someone isn't astonished by LLMs alone (which everyone with half a brain should be), chances are you're never going to understand or appreciate the niche applications of these models. I mean, nobody even ever knew that Spotify was one of the biggest players in the space since around 2012, virtually perfecting music recommender engines so much so that it was half their product - deservedly, too, because it was great then and still is today. And even the mundane "google search for you" is so, so much better, because folks still don't understand that there is a difference between typing three-letter keywords and getting a random SEO result versus having a model provide you with the different possible meanings you can then quickly select from. Anyone who can't see the benefits of all this is just plainly talking out of their asses, simple as that.

GAI has been the most liberating technology to ever happen in my life. I don't have to content with entitled artists like Steven Zapata or Joshua Palmer, anymore. You guys are like the taxi drivers crying about cybertaxi services like Uber (when they use to be a great company) providing better service in a time when the former just abused their talents and took their customers for granted.

[@OnyeNacho]

Perhaps that is because AI technology's greatest and most reliable strength right now is in the creative sector. Entertainment has never been anymore better thanks to Generative Artificial Intelligence. With AIG voices, mod potential is far greater than before, allow modders to make unofficial sequels or prequels to the base game's story for instance or simply renewing the lifespan of old and dated mods (see some Deus Ex AIG voice mods for examples). Game art and music can be done faster and refined by the solo game developer to improve quality or tune it to their specialized preference(s).

[@ArtUniverse]

@@OnyeNacho The problem with generative AI art is that it enshittifies everything. Any work that makes use of it ends up looking like a cheap low effort bootleg imitation of the real thing. There's a reason why "AI art" has become a synonym for "crappy art" even if it's done my a human.

I think most of Steve Jobs’ success was due to surrounding himself with competent staff and being gifted a huge slice of _good luck._ Apple launched the iPod and iPhone at a time when hardware was small enough, power efficient enough, and cheap enough to create portable wireless supercomputers that also make phone calls. Apple didn’t invent the portable music player, they waited until the tech was ready and improved the user interface. Apple tried to do iPhone with Motorola a few years before the iPhone but it was slow, bulky, hard to use, and had limited storage space so it failed hard. When the tech was there, it finally came together in the iPhone. Steve Jobs was lucky, just like all successful billionaires.

[@juanrodriguez9971]

The funny thing about that Steve Jobs quote is not only that it is wrong about the topic, he is also wrong about his comparison, nobody would have said "I want a faster horse", people would have said "I want to carry more things" "I hate dealing with my horse's poop" "My horse is ill and theres no way for me to heal him", all problems being solved by "Then use this car, it can carry up to 500kg of weight, is safe inside, and doesnt poop" I think Steve was simply omega lucky by finding a really cool design that solved a problem people had with previous phones: "I cant see whats on the screen because it is too small" and gave us a phone that used the keyboard space for more screen with a magical keyboard that only appears when you need it. You can tell when someone doesnt consume the things they sell when they try to solve problems where there are none while ignoring the actual problems, in the case of AI it is the complete opposite, techs talking about stuff they for sure will be using and is solving a problem only they have thinking it will be useful for everyone else, like me selling a super cool juice squeezing machine to everyone because it makes my job as a juice squeezer so much easier but i forgot that the burger flipper doesnt need a juice squeezing machine, he only needs money.

[@jerrycan1756]

The thing is, he's not COMPLETELY wrong. The common consumer doesn't understand the industry and doesn't know what solutions are available for his common problems, so if you ask them what they want of course they just say "a better version of what I already have" because that's all they know. There are a lot of companies that want to say they're making the next iPhone when really they're just putting more powerful hardware in an existing device. There were no smartphones before the iPhone, at least none worth using. You want iPhone money, you have to solve problems people didn't even realize were solvable, maybe problems they didn't even realize they had at all. The best thing LLM AI might ever be is a more radical version of the mouse - a slower and more inefficient way to do things who's sole selling point is that you need far less tech-literacy to use it, but made for computers already so simple that any reasonable person can find the time to get proficient with them. Is being able to get diagnosed retards onto the internet a selling point? Is that a trillion-dollar product? Not really.

The current "AI" doesn't remember a chunk of conversation, degrading in quality. (I managed to gaslight chatgpt the math is wrong. Even though I was asking why the formula is like that, {i have wrong assumptions}. At first it was defending the correct formula. Without providing enough reason why, then eventually it gave in and said my wrong formula is correct) AGI would be able to understand my confusion and adjust accordingly. Hence new AI is being trained on context problems. If they're able to do that, AI being able to solve Logic problems you see in schools without being trained on similar problems. AGI would be here.

Your job as a product developer is to create solutions to people’s problems. So many of the AI bubble products are people trying to find problems for the technology they think is cool. People don’t want to be convinced something will help them

[@s_e_r.]

@@ChineduOpara nah. it sounds nice, then you understand how languages work and you find out it makes no real sense. translating text is one thing, translating speech is a whole different beast. (i'm a linguist, specialized in interpretation, and have worked as an interpreter for about 5 years now). the problem is that Language isn't simply a collection of words and their meanings, there's a whole lot that comes with it: Tone, inflection, connotation, denotation, implication, speech impediments, sarcasm, irony, variation in Regional accents, crutch words, mispronunciations, redundancies... Learning a language and being fluent in a language enough to translate it in real time doesn't just mean knowing the words and what they mean, it also necessitates the ability to recognize all of those different elements I mentioned and the capacity to move them over from one culture to another. Language is also culture. There are languages where you don't only need to know the words but you also need to address the other speakers in a culturally aware way: Several languages have different registers that demand different grammatical structures and different words depending on the speaker and the listeners position in society, or even their physical location. I'm confident in saying that an AI could not get to that point without exorbitant amounts of money and research. what actually worries me is that some dumb manager believes some ai could do all that and drive me and hundreds of thousands of other interpreters to unemployment.

[@DacLMK]

Here's my take. AI starts to be good, people and companies overinvest and overhype it, then it crashes. After the crash, it starts to become good and usable, but after some time corpos take over it again and ruin it for good. But the way things are going, we probably won't even see the good stuff after the crash because we live in a pathetic era. At least with the internet we had some great things before corpo stepped in and ruined it.

Nah, it's the would-be-boomers. 30-somethings just embracing the middle-aged stubbornness that is to come, pretending like their music taste is the best and like they don't have to adapt to new technology because their collective experiences are the standard for how things should be. Young folks absolutely love it, especially to mitigate shortcomings. Using these things as very competent personal tutors alone is a huge use case I see constantly, and it works incredibly for those kids who embrace it. Marketing... my dude, kids are embracing skibidi toilets and brainrot, you think some classic 90s Mattel-ads or Pokémon shoe-ins were distracting young folks? It's the cynical pricks and young adults who are shitting on everyone. Hell, even the really old ones end up being more open to new things at face value, just look at how everyone said grampy wouldn't use a phone and now, that's literally all he does. It's nowhere near uncool enough with any demographic, and if it is, you might be in an echo chamber - because just about everyone is very happy with what it can do for you.

It is shocking how much of our own thought processes mostly boil down to experience based guesswork. This cannot be replicated with ones and zeros

[@41-Haiku]

You sound confused about what the problem was. Modern AI is based entirely on intuitive system-1 thinking. It's the system-2 analytical stuff that is actually harder to train. I don't know what kind of issues you were having, but the problem definitely wasn't that AI systems don't have intuition.

[@Arquinas]

It can, but the inner "concepts" of AI are very opaque to humans so encoding that kind of information is very hard. Currently the development trend seems to be "pour in more data and hope for the best" but I don't think that can carry on indefinitely. Although, in theory, everything should be reprentable as a just another variable which can encode significant amount of information when in relation to other things.

I've seen people getting excited at the idea of paying 40 grand for a Tesla robot to... fill the 400 dollars dishwasher for them? Use the vaccuum cleaner? Retrieve the post outside? Rub clean an already pristine kitchen table? Walk the dog for you (why did you even get a dog if you can't dedicate it 10 minutes 3 times a day)? Would you buy a single seater helicopter to go for groceries just because it's the fastest and most advanced thing around to do so? Fun fact: anybody who works with robotics of any kind (from assemblers to CNC machinery) knows that robots are great at doing the same task over and over, and absolutely inconvenient if you need to keep changing task quickly. "Retooling" is a long and meticolous job, and the machine will constantly demand your attention at any new, unprogrammed scenarios. You will waste much more time dealing with this robot constantly stopping due to random reasons, than doing your home tasks yourself.

@@Blue-fg8vt Yes, it's why we buy domestic appliances when we can afford them. Common people definitely can't afford full time maids and butlers. But a humanoid robot is orders of magnitude more complex than a Roomba, or a blender, or a dishwasher, both in initial cost, repair/mainteinance and overall use. It won't magically reduce in cost to the point common people can afford buying one every 2-3 years (let's face it, nowadays they won't be built to run much beyond warranty). The cost has to be justified. A vehicle at such cost is justified as it enables you to do lots of things you are otherwise massively penalized without. A robot in this case is just taking your place into doing things common people can easily do themselves, especially with the already existing devices in your house or the ones you could afford by buying those instead of the robot for a fraction of the cost. I'm not saying "robots are useless everywhere". But I find them a very redundant thing to have in common family houses, for the massive cost they have and will keep having.
