fwiw, I don't like AIs, I think they are 99% overhyped and stupid
I just mentally replace "AI" with "stupid data-processing thingy" whenever I hear AI talk
Discussion
Yep... it's a buzzword now... Just like "Agile" methodology was and maybe still is for a lot of dev teams "we're trendy and cool".
I absolutely agree: there is nothing "intelligent" there, just another piece of software. Might be useful in some instances, but it still remains just 0s and 1s.
I think that's the framework: it's a tool, you can use it or not
AI is a translator
hmmmm we are all translators when communicating
Except nostr:npub1mygerccwqpzyh9pvp6pv44rskv40zutkfs38t0hqhkvnwlhagp6s3psn5p who is just an entropy machine
This is normal for a force of nature
you've probably already seen this but just in case our friend Svetski has a bit to say about AI
Yeah, but OTOH would trust this guy?

Agreed. "AI" is a mere buzzword. For decades it used to be called... optimization.
Similarly, "dAtA sCiEncE" is a buzzword for... copying and pasting Python code until you get a nice chart.
100% for Junior. Most junior work is like this imo. Like junior software devs are crud machine, copy and paste fancy framework and manipulate JSON
It's evolving fast tho.
word assembler
i already use that term for humans
I'm of two minds about AI. My initial reaction was that it's all hype. But I've since heard from people I know that they use it for :
- writing reports in their work (because the person is good enough to be able to review the AI's work and know if it's good or not, and be able to tweak it),
- writing code faster (again, because the person is good enough to be able to review the code to see if it's good or not),
- helping older kids learn by helping them consider different points of view, different ideas, etc, and
- helping older kids prepare for exams.
So I think in the right hands and if used properly, it can be useful.
But I hope no one uses ChatGPT and other corporate-owned and controlled AIs. We don't need to feed those algos even more, we don't need to fork over our privacy and we don't need to build a dependence on those tools. I'm only talking about open source AIs like Llama 2, etc.
