LLMs seem to have the same effect on people as alcohol or drugs. And once they are hooked they can't go back on their own.
Im still sure there are good and reliable uses for it, Im just struggling to find them...
It can do decent webdev, but I only think that because my skills in that regard are limited and It's a visual medium I can judge and fix small issues in it, but that's about it.
It's also good if you need to process tons of text in a structured way and It's a great text search function for natural language. Like I have a usecase where I need to identify and disable certain functionality in short code snippets from hundreds of data science guys and LLMs are good at telling me if it exists in the snippet, but not good at disabling it the way I need, but it still allows me to filter it faster based on natural language criteria... So that's something.
I always said It's a transformer, so we should use it like one, rather than this agentic autonomous BS
When you wanted to know deep learning immediately
That's not AI.
geez
I wondered if there's like a "best of AI" subreddit or something. some actual genuine fun, memes around AI and what people do with it. but there isn't. best I found is an AI forum but it's everyone complaining about if their jobs will be taken away from them or not
dead tech, 100% man. nobody is actually excited about this or making use of it. I think everyone just hates it
... earlier heard a dude say AI gets 10% of things wrong, and when it gets it wrong it's like a drunk teenager eating lead. I think 10% is a serious underestimation... the guy claims he doesn't let his AI make actual decisions/responses/reactions/control anything at his company... but he's using it to tell him its judgements on data in his system. if the AI can't be trusted to reply, why are you trusting it to understand without verifying it yourself? he thinks he's being so clever with that... but it just never occurred to him it could be making errors in its perceptions. if it's soooo badly dangerous that it often deletes whole systems when given access there is absolutely no reason to think it doesn't "seriously misjudge" the data it looks at to begin with... it SERIOUSLY MISJUDGING the data it's looking at is probably how it's ending up deleting various systems? this guy just doesn't think to check. I guess perceptions are considered cheap but they're the most expensive thing there is -- because EVERYTHING is downstream from perceptions. OODA loop. my god. and this guy thinks he's an AI skeptic...
we're all just folly to our human laziness I suppose
