Terminator 2: Judgement Day
As much as we talk shit about the "slop" it is actually a real technology that they are using to great effect in surveillance and automated combat.
@ZachWeinersmith I'm A2, but I find the works/doesn't work binary too stark for my taste. I'd say something like "It has uses in some domains but is highly flawed and overhyped.
@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.
