At the current state of things, AI just feels like being forced on people. There isn’t much transparency and a lot happens without people’s consent. Training data is taken without consent, and they display AI-written text, often riddled with misinformation to me, without being upfront. I also stop reading most of the times, unless there is a comment section beneath, for me to complain 😉

Sure. I think you’re right. I myself want an AI maid loading the dishwasher and doing the laundry and dusting the shelves. A robot vacuum is nice, but that’s just a tiny amount of the tedious every-day chores. Plus an AI assistant on my computer, cleaning up the harddrive, sorting my gigabytes of photos…
And I don’t think we’re there yet. It’s maybe the right amount of billions of dollars to pump into that hype if we anticipate all of this happening. But for a lame assistant that can answer questions and get the facts right 90% of the times, and whose attempts to ‘improve’ my emails are contraproductive lots of the times, isn’t really that helpful to me.
And with that it’s just an overinflated bubble that is based on expectations, not actual usefulness or yield with the current state of technology.
Personally, I think it’s not going to happen soon. I think it’ll take another 5-10 years of scientific advancements until we tackle issues like the limited intelligence and that it likes to make up things which aren’t really true. And we kind if need that for proper applications. I’ve tried generative AI for writing and computer coding. But I still have to spend a lot of time to fact-check and rewrite its output. As is, I think AI is limited to some specific tasks.

The training data thing is so frustrating.
Every service just changed their terms of service to allow it and nobody got in trouble.
Same, tbh.
Ummm, maybe it’s because they’re asking us to train the software that’s going to take our moderate pay desk and service jobs so we can all work in factories for minimum wage?
Just a thought.
If a robot / LLM can do you your job it probably should. Factory jobs should be the first to go - that’s not a place for humans.
Fat chance. Desk jobs don’t require additional hardware. They’ll be the first to go. This is corporate America we’re talking about. Cost/benefit analysis reigns supreme. Health and safety is only as much of a concern as regulations require, which will only get more lax with Zeldin in office.
Uh. What do they say to an AI shill, rewriting their social system with AI code? Or a president writing the countries economic strategy with AI? I also believe that’s going to have… consequences…
