Being deterministic does not have anything to do with whether it is useful. If I ask 5 mechanics why my car is making a certain noise, I will get 5 different answers, some contradictory. It doesn’t mean that they can’t give me actionable advice.

I had mandatory art classes.


That doesn’t mean the answer is right. That’s why they allow calculators on standardized tests. It is a tool, but it doesn’t always give you the right answer if you don’t use it right. Exactly like an LLM.


Yes, but no one HAS to learn to draw any more. My entire life, if I couldn’t figure out how to draw it, the picture stayed locked in my head. Now, I just dictate it into a prompt.


Autocorrect got me


50% of Americans use AI, and 25% use it daily. That’s 100s of millions of people just in one country. It’s not going away.


It doesn’t really matter how people feel about it if the majority of Americans (as an example) are using it. I think cars are shit, and I would be happy never using one again. Guess how I got to work today?


I don’t use anything Windows touches, not just AI. The last article is talking about how everyone is using it 😂


Sounds like a verifiable statement.


I don’t really see the difference. Calculators give wrong answers if they get the wrong inputs.


We spent 30 years trying to make these things. I remember a grad student talking to me about neural networks in 2005.


I didn’t say it was progress, I said it was easy. And I’ve never met an accountant or physicist who didn’t use a calculator.


Fair enough


Why? Education is what got us here.


On Lemmy, maybe


Imagine you’re a 6-year-old right now. Someone tells you, yeah, you could spend the next 10 years of your life drawing 1000s of pages of art until you become an ok artist. Or you could dictate your desires into this prompt. Sure, some will still find joy in physically creating visual art. But the vast majority will take the easy way.
Same thing with pen->typewriter->computer. Same thing with horse->automobile. The easiest thing will always win.
Literally One Punch Man.


There are those who still use quills. Quakers that use horse and buggy. But the vast majority of our decedents will use AI for the majority of tasks from this day forward.
I would say “un” implies a reversal of some state. More clear would be “not lockable”, so most people would use this. Unlockable is much more likely to mean able to reverse the state of being locked.
What the fuck
