Vox needs to decide if its an ad agency or a news outlet and then be honest and up front about it...

Comparing the Guttenberg press to Ai is kind of silly. I would just recommend you all to learn what Ai actually is, what its capabilitys are and very importantly what it is not.

[@answer5092]

This is a video by IBM. IBM is not ignorant. They know exactly what AI is and what it can and can't do. But the general public doesn't. So they can sell AI as something that it isn't.

Guys, srsly. Mark this IBM by Vox, not Vox by IBM.

[@otaviouss_]

The thing is that technology with AI is impacting more creative jobs (which humans usually prefer doing) than jobs that demands more physically from humans. I think this completely changes what we as a society expected of technology.

[@bradpoer]

Oof. Hey, Vox- in case the other comments don't make it clear, we come to you for JOURNALISM. This does not come across as that. It comes across as rose-colored glasses ad for IBM's AI projects when the majority of us are pretty wary of it and what it will mean for our careers and livelihoods. Not a good look.

[@Science__Politics]

I'm a software engineer who specializes a machine learning and AI. This video is going to age very poorly. The only thing that AI can actually do really well is help people code better. If you need a single image created and don't want to pay somebody for it, AI can work for you. If you need something to be identified by a machine, AI should work pretty well. If you need to collect a bunch of research on a specific topic in a short amount of time, AI will help you. It's not going to change the world the way that smartphone did.

[@matthiaswolfe9435]

Was bouta be surprised that there was 2 Vox videos in a day. Too bad it's an ad.

[@birdie_cathare]

AI is a simulation of thought, writing is thought

[@utsavmangla8552]

How do you differentiate between simulation and “real”?

[@birdie_cathare]

@@utsavmangla8552 For a short answer one major difference i have in mind and obviously i don't pretend to have the truth, though I did do research on the topic (philosophy of technics). (and excuse my grammar i'm not used to talk in English about those topics) TL;DR a cooking robot will never invent a dish when writing, the human interacts with the technical object as anyone does while thinking/working, there's a sort of back and forth between the text and your mind. Anyone who creates a text experiences the fact that the "thought" seems to emerge while writing, from the interaction. in other words it's difficult to conceive a thought "full made in the head" which only needs to be written down (even a birthday card verifies this!) such interactions are definetly possible with computing machines but AI models don't need human interaction per se (the paper does and will never write itself). also the interaction produces unpredictability and statistical automation relies on predictability obviously. eventually a simulation will never be able to modify itself as in producing a result that changes its own rules (just as any human does when cooking, writing, building a house, etc) without human activity a simulation will eventually produce stereotyped, "middle" results (every AI model so far confirms that rule as far as i know) i hope i was clear, there's more to say obviously

[@brianwilk5344]

Saying the future of AI is open is like saying the future of operating systems is open because Linux exists; closed source models are better and the power in AI is heavily footed in lots of very expensive hardware that isn't accessible to users

[@thomascosta5115]

I understand the need for advertisements to keep this content free. But I-and I don't think anyone else-came here expecting a 5 minute long paid ad.

[@simonsaysism]

FTC's guidelines for sponsored content: "Include disclosures in three key areas: written in description, superimposed over video, and verbally in video. Written disclosures should be included within the first two lines (125 characters) of the video description above the 'show more' prompt." No verbal disclosure, and written disclosure is hidden in the "show more" area. Go ahead and get paid but follow the rules about it pls.

[@kunafeh]

"By offloading repetitive tasks, AI offers businesses a chance to empower their teams...", yeah sure we are fools!

[@ejazhusseini1888]

Why is printing being compared to AI? They can't be more far apart

[@wixostrix]

The comparison is on how emerging technologies can be used for good purposes they can and have always been used nefarious ones. Point is we shouldn’t let that fact prevent useful innovations. Would come off better if it came from a historian or something and not the VP of a corporation with a vested interest in us trusting the technology though 😅

[@mimisaiko]

People use analogy to explain what AI is like, part of the arguments are true. But I think the best analogy would be stock footage. Some creator would benefit from such tool. But not most of them.

[@jonasrochavieira]

[@bluemonkjd]

[@Thanos-hp1mw]

I pay for KZbin premium, now there are videos themselves which are ads

[@hassanbeydoun2460]

My big gripe with this video and AI in general is that, while yes it sounds nice with cool buzzwords "offloading repetitive tasks" and "improving workflow", maybe less than 10% of people are going to see and use it that way. The rest of society does it differently.

[@anazron805811]

[@arianas9831]

As a Vox lover, this was a very interesting way to approach this story visually. Something Vox excels at, is visual story telling. And relying on graphics and animation in this one made it difficult/boring to follow. AI is admittedly not visual, but this video seemed to lack brainstorming and preproduction that goes into their other journalism. Edit: I just realized this is becuase it’s an IBM ad. And it shows.

[@alexties6933]

yeah thats not even just sponsored thats literally just an ad

[@coastofkonkan]

Europeans learnt printing from China & even the next word prediction required for AI came from Chinese typewriters. Roman numerals were clumsy so current one came from India through Arab traders. Knowledge never remains static.

[@TheSummoner]

The Future of Ads Is Sneaky

[@donaldhobson8873]

I think open source AI is probably not a great idea. I mean at current AI intelligence levels, it's not too bad. But at some point you have random hackers building skynet in their basement. Whether deliberately, or just because they are careless. Do you want a robot uprising, because this is how you get a robot uprising.

[@Star3]

Read description, this is an ADVERTISEMENT!

[@blackfoxstudioX]

Wow advertisement video about AI 🙄 I didn't noticed that disclaimer and was wondering why the video sounds so shallow....

[@Gulitize]

The thing in the beginning is just false, there isn't any proof the Gutenberg knew of chinese prints. The two things he solved where the problem of equal ink distribution of large prints and the problem of cheap repreducable type blocks. So the thing special about it was the alloys that could be cast with details, and once they are worn out easily be recast into new ones.
