@ZachWeinersmith A2 leaning for A1, in the sense that the domains where it can be useful are most of the times better served by ad-hoc tools anyway
@ZachWeinersmith A2-A3, I guess. The hype of idiots and dishonest businesspeople doesn't really have bearing over how actually useful it is though.
And I'll add that I don't think its badness is an intrinsic property of it, just an inevitable result of our totally corrupt system.
Overall I think it's revolutionary tech that will have a deep positive impact in the way research is done, once everyone catches up to what its strengths and (most importantly) limitations are.
@ZachWeinersmith A2, though like others I’ll caveat that I’m specifically talking about LLMs here. Artificial intelligence is a BIG field.
@ZachWeinersmith
A2, leaning C2 (depending on what kind of AI and how it is used).
A1 for the things currently being hyped as "AI".
C2 for the very different things that get conflated with them.
@ZachWeinersmith I’ll join the A2 crowd, with the proviso that much of the harm to society is a direct result of the excessive hype
@ZachWeinersmith
A2
I don't trust the men having control over it.
I hope it will die financially without making too much damages but I think we are already over a 2008 crisis magnitude.
@ZachWeinersmith
A2, but only because a friend pays the bills by training them and finding uses for them in the process
@ZachWeinersmith A1 with an option on A2 - I can't say for sure if there are workable situations because of the hype. I suspect there may be some. But also don't think the positives of any workable situation would outweigh the ethical, societal, and environmental negatives.
