A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

While I'm not exactly a fan of AI, it does make sense that the first things we're able to replicate with AI, however terribly, are intellectual things like art and writing. While AI might be able to understand how to wash dishes, it would need a way of interacting with the physical dishes to do so, which goes beyond something a computer program can do while confined to a computer.
I wouldn't be surprised if future dishwashers and washing machines end up having little cameras and sensors so that AI can determine how best to wash them, but if anything that feature would be implemented more for collecting your private information than for any real washing benefit. Plus you'd still have to load and unload the machines - if we wanted AI to handle everything, we'd need robots, which would be waaaay more expensive, and likely something only the richest would be able to afford anyway.
Wake me up when we actually have AI. Hyper-complicated games of mad-libs is not AI.
Computer science has been referring to things less impressive than LLMs as "AI" for decades. For some reason there's been a weird reaction to GPTs ever since ChatGPT became public.
Computer science is filled with a lot of educated ignoramuses. It's not surprising that they've used an inaccurate term for decades.
And what do you have a degree in? Creationism?
I mean, narrow AI vs general AI.
By "Narrow AI" you mean "not even slightly intelligent but really just expensive mad-libs games"?
Hi I’m here to wake you up and point you in the direction of AI integration in adobe premiere and Da Vinci resolve lol
And?
Techbrodudes do techbrodude. Loads of shitty features have gone into software over the ages. (Like the move to web apps over native, say.) The fact that techbrodudes are chasing after the latest piece of shit tech means nothing.
It’s not tech bro dudes in production making this work. My entire editing workflow has been wildly altered, especially audio work. I am actually very critical of LLM‘s and the way AI is developing, but when it comes to video and audio editing? It’s a completely different discussion. You wouldn’t believe what is being a accomplished right now
AI transcription alone has been a wonderful way to become more ADA (and equivalent) compliant for smaller operations.
