@ZachWeinersmith
A1.2 if you're talking about LLMs
Which is basically what the vast majority of people are being sold as AI
@ZachWeinersmith A2-ish. Some AI works in some domains. The generative chatbot stuff is hard A1.
@ZachWeinersmith None of them. Mostly because I doubt that you are using a definition of “AI” that matches the one in use for nearly 70 years and I reject the “modern” redefinition.
If you had written “LLMs” instead of “AI” then your categories might have been relevant.
@ZachWeinersmith
Something around A1/A2/B1/B2
it kinda works in some domains, but often is more of a scam.
And I think it's extremely dangerous. Not because it may gain consciousness and decide to kill us (that's bullshit), but because it's used for things it's not safe to be used for, and also appears to impair cognitive damage.
This is the dumbest dystopia..
@ZachWeinersmith I find the GenAI LLMs to be an interesting new capability which the giant pools of money are way over investing in, in a typical 21st c "wrecking of otherwise good things via too much money" cf dot com, house lending, toys r us, etc. 30B spend on it seems reasonable. Borrowing enough money to put up a 30B data center in 10 percent of counties seems like a misapplication of scarce resources. 1/2
@ZachWeinersmith A2, with the qualifier that is probably say "for some kinds of tasks" rather than "in some domains." But maybe the definition of "domain" can cover that.
