This is one of those times I like to be a pedant and separate LLMs and other generating bots from what I think most people would consider intelligence. Real AI tech could serve all of humanity, but LLMs are just the next fancy shitcoin the wealthy and their hangers-on want to convince you spits out something that has high value when it clearly doesn’t (unless you’re in the propaganda business).
I keep hearing this but what makes them “good”? Like at the end of the day they’re still just LLMs right? Even if they can generate a perfect picture that no human could tell is AI, so what? What is that skill useful for besides fooling humans into believing something is real that isn’t true?
Heck- they can’t even set a reminder like natural language processing (Siri) could do fifteen years ago.
Where I work it has become standard to use these tools. Being dismissive of it’s capabilities is a ship that sailed 2 years ago, and unfortunately it will only get more powerful.
I hate it though and wish we could put all this back into Pandora’s box.
I know you think they’re good, I asked what makes them good. Maybe you can you give an example of what makes them good? It might help me understand your perspective.
Theres a really interesting episode of the podcast “diary of s ceo” with the guest Ed Zitron. He says a lot about how we can see some really good uses for AI but not trillions of dollars worth of use. Billions, maybe, but trillions? Personally, im wondering if this is a way for the uber rich to suck as much money out of the rich before the economy collapses.

This guy/gal/enby MLs
How could “real AI” serve humanity?
Dude, you are talking about 8 months ago. The versions you pay for are really good.
Seriously
They’re good at things you’re not good at. If you’re good at something, and you see them try to do it, they’re shite.
yeah, they’re not even that good
Right? But also even perfectly made slop is still slop. Slop is nothing new it’s just getting automated
