Source: I worked at a very large corporation on various AI / ML technologies, and we threw millions of machines at some of these problems. Bonus points we had access to virtually unlimited data. Despite all that, our models were only something like 80% accurate. Imagine the peak of AI, all the world's computers, only being able to see a dog 80% of the time, when toddlers can do it 98% of the time.
But you are right: Stop engaging with AI in any form. Just walk away. The only reason people are doing it is because it attracts attention, and attention attracts investors, and investors create hype.
they all need you; we sure as fuck dont need them
This word "AI" only has power because we think it has power. It, like "3D TV", is nothing without someone willing to pony up cash to sing in the choir.
i disagree. not with the sentiment about calling 'artificial intelligence' but that i prefer a bit of code running a machine than any one or thing from india trying to grift me something.
I once thought of trying to use the generative AI to write code. But I'd have to go through the code and understand it before I could tell if it's code I'd actually run. And gen AI doesn't create concise and clear solutions, it's often convoluted, so it'd be like reading code written by an incompetent child. That's the kind of code it generates.
It will NEVER replace code hand-written by an intelligent person. We're already seeing this prophecy fulfilled in the software world. People THINK they are more productive, but they are not, because they are creating software they can't understand, they can't modify, and they can't fix.
I don't have any models running on my machine, not for anything. I know how they work, and a good rule-based system is very much superior to the best it can produce. It's way easier to "teach" a system basic rules about stuff than it is to get AI / ML to produce anything useful.
i once had an argument with some Ai-bros about this.
they claimed "the AI will do it in ways no human as every concieved"
and i, understanding what they meant stated
"if a machine takes 9 months and gigawatts to tell me how to take a package from A to B, then its moot"
segue:
my whole argument was, that i ordered a coffee from this cafe in seattle that had 'AI programmed" CNC arms to perform the tasks of the 'barista'
i support this because it affects nearly all 'menial labor'.
and solving menial labor also solves the 'immigration' argument, imo
hence i am in full favor of robots replacing things.
