@ZachWeinersmith A1, with a touch of A2 for very specific use cases.
@ZachWeinersmith A2, A1 when I'm feeling particularly jaded or grumpy
@ZachWeinersmith A1, because "artificial intelligence" isn't a thing. Machine learning, including LLMs, solidly A2.
@ZachWeinersmith solidly A1
It's destroying people's critical thinking skills, in some cases causing irreversible harm (death), and has no real-world value.
The amount of times I've seen people ask AI a question, then have to check it was right - meaning it would have taken the same or less time to just figure it out from the jump? Bananas.
I'm also so sick of jobs that will get zero benefit from AI having to find a way to integrate it to please leadership.
Fuck AI.
@ZachWeinersmith c2/c3 because in the context of setting all the fossil fuels on fire to make food and heat our houses, we have to burn fossil fuels to solve the problems created by being unwilling to stop burning fossil fuels for food and space heating. Everything we do is setting ancient forests on fire, just some of it is socially acceptable.
@ZachWeinersmith I suppose C2, I mean in theory A2 but in practice, to me the relative wastefulness of AI (and by that I mean LLM) does not actually make it a good fit for a lot of tasts it is currently being used for.
@ZachWeinersmith Currently A1 but willing to nudge toward A2 if the evidence shows, e.g., fewer people are now dying of cancer.
The bubble can't burst too soon.
Between A1 and A2.
First of all, AI doesn't exist and it was recently mathematically proven that what we have now, machine learning / LLMs, can NEVER grow into full AIs.
What we have now is good a pattern recognition. You can feed it all of the drugs used to fight a certain disease, their effectiveness, their side effects, etc. and it can spit out other drugs that would be useful targets for study.
What we have would fit into A2. What we are being sold is a scam.
