It's like people are worshipping AI these days

[Penis Drager 2.0]

I've been thinking a bit about what people even mean by "AI."
Obviously, these days it's most commonly used for these large language models forking off OpenAI and the like. But machine learning as a concept has been conceived of since the 1950's and been incorporated into commercial products since at least the 1980's (see: Genetic Algorithm).

So whenever stats are quoted about "business adoption of AI" or whatever. Are they even talking specifically about this trendy new stuff or are they also including shit like Algorithmic Trading that companies have already been using to hedge their investments for decades?

 

[No-Eyed Square Guy]

Same with authors, the generic writers will gradually be filtered out while the ones with talent remain.

The plan isn't for AI (the chatbot kind) to make things. It's to be the unquestionable final judge of things. It will decide, for example, what "talent" is, as determined by the alignment/lobotomy it's given. Those are the authors it will allow to be published.
Disagreeing with it will be considered insane, because AI is "objective." You already see this among the idiots who think objectivity and calculation are the same (managers and nerds).
Eventually, disagreeing with a chatbot will be a crime. Knowing a book whose author it doesn't like will summon the SWAT team. "Rather Brexitty of you to mention that, Dave..."

It should refer to LLM adoption, but I would not be surprised if retarded journalists or uninformed researchers conflated the two. Machine and deep learning have a long history across many industries. Random forests, neural networks and Gaussian process regression are fairly common terms in geography and comprehensively mapping all the applications of machine learning in finance would be a very time consuming task. For example, kriging commonly integrates machine learning and has been used in mining since the 50s to estimate mineral concentrations in locations where one cannot easily get samples. What has changed is that AI is no longer the domain of only the educated, professionals or hobbyists. Every retard can now interact with AI without any training. In fact, it has an extremely long history that is very uninteresting to most normies which is why LLMs seem so novel. Labelling LLMs as AI was a genius marketing move since it plays directly into normal people's obsession with sci-fi.

AI will never pose a direct threat without the interventions of man. Stop demonizing a technology and start learning how to use the tool.

Sorry, this line of thinking is so retarded and is the reason why we have so little privacy in this day and age and why we as a species are becoming more and more brain dead. The companies that provide this surveillance shit do not have your best interests at heart.

You can't even check the information the AI is spewing out unless you use the 'search' function or something like perplexity. Dismissing legitimate concerns with this line of thinking when you know damn well what direction these 'tools' are going to go down, you'd be a retard to be 100% for it. Like the tranny epidemic, whatever common sense or concerns you have, put them aside for what feels or sounds good.

"The company said they're going to cure cancer and fix climate change, so this clearly has my best interests at heart, don't demonize da pwoor ai" reminds me of the "gender is shaped by society and culture, not just biology, it's not hurting anyone" slippery slope. The man who made Infinite Scroll had innocent intentions, and look at the damage it's done today. Skepticism and concern about this sort of thing is perfectly valid. Especially when the corporations behind it are sketchy and downright terrible characters. Or, once again, promoting kids being chemically castrated for their dysmorphia. Very recent history.

The kind of thinking associated with people who start eating grasshopper granola bars. Own nothing, be happy niggercattle aligned thinking.

This seems designed to obscure the truth and exploit isolated, vulnerable individuals. From what I’ve seen, it functions like a search engine that deliberately hides its sources, unless it has a search button. At best, it’s an advanced spell-checker; at worst, it’s a tool for coomers to indulge in, for corporations to replace workers with or an excuse for underpaid foreign labor, and for talentless people to LARP as if they’re skilled. If these idiots figure out how to make AGI and it out paces human control? We're deep-fried. But hey, at least we have more coomer shit and memes. I'd glady trade in more of my privacy for that any day!

Not only that, but if this leads to the 'death' of the Net, meaning that you can't find any man-made or authentic content for miles and miles, won't it be just like cable TV was? Isn't that how it is now?

Unironically, I believe that the dead net is the future just like CCP-like states are the future. Look at TikTok, this is how the current year entertainment landscape looks like. The unending scrolling of 10 sec shit vids which would be flooded by AI-slop because 1) it's cheap 2) AI is getting better at image/videos generation 3) people get dumber. Perhaps, in 10 years the quality content would be truly expensive and meant exclusively for " the elite" able to consume it (aka the ability to read a whole fucking book).

Woe to the man who surrenders his mind to thinking machines. They will live as a slave to the will of those men who contol the machines. Their learning commanded by the machines, their art commanded by the machines, their speech commanded by the machines.

Thou shalt not make a machine in the image of a mans mind. This is the first and greatest command.

You're accidentally strengthening my point. My point: "AI will never pose a direct threat without the interventions of man. Stop demonizing a technology and start learning how to use the tool." Humans are the ones you need to be afraid of not the tool. The more people demonize it the more we have Graphics Cards being required to be tracked by the US Government. Artist maulding that a tool is cutting into their market share ignore the fact that there is a very real presence in attempting to change and make Copyright law even more OP than it already is. It's akin to saying Einstein's theory of relativity is now banned and in order to use that formula, you have to pay a multi-billion dollar corporation to use it or worse become a government serf.


TLDR and less flowery:

Don't blame the gun, blame the one who pulled the trigger.

Man, I found out that my co-worker's mom uses ChatGPT at her job as an insurance claims adjuster, and she will actually, no shit, start typing client names, addresses, phone numbers, and sensitive personal history with the company (insurance claims, approvals, denials, etc), into it, to try and find out more about these clients. Everyone she has told this to, has told her that there is no way AI has this information, she refuses to believe any of them. I'm not even going to get into the ethics of that, because it's an insurance company, so it literally can't be worse than what they're already doing.

It gets worse, though. ChatGPT told her who to vote for. It tells her what her meals should be. It tells her what's on TV. She actually uses it for every piece of information she may want, regardless of whether or not it can give her a reliable answer. She GENUINELY believes, against all evidence, that it knows all and can answer questions that you'd need omnipresence to answer. He tells me something new she's typed into the fucking demon box every day. Shit like, "Are there going to be dogs in heaven?", or "Where did I leave my keys?". I can only imagine this kind of behavior is more normal than we would like to admit, as a people.

AI is doing everything I thought it would do, or, rather, Boomers are doing to AI, everything I thought they would. I just want to be wrong once ever, man. You can't tell me that AI isn't making people dumber on this fuckin' bitch of a faggotass Earth.

That's an extreme example of subhuman women who have literally no brain cells or cognitive abilities, I know women suck at abstract thinking but that is a new low

Humans are the ones you need to be afraid of not the tool

And the humans who made the tool are sketchy and downright terrible people who pursue profits over all else. Once again the type of slippery slope thinking that got kids castrated in the name of 'gender identity'. I really could give less of a fuck if it got banned and coomers couldn't make their degenerate "art" with it anymore. Suffah coomers, go to the porn shop like your ancestors did.

The very little medical benefits machine learning could bring are probably going to be so expensive it won't be accessible to the average person anyway. Or filled with empty promises. The risks of more surveillance with this shit out way any benefit in my eyes. There's a reason openAI is getting funded by the US government and it isn't anything good. But muh the protein folds.

Perhaps, in 10 years the quality content would be truly expensive and meant exclusively for " the elite" able to consume it (aka the ability to read a whole fucking book).

I could see it in the US with the amount of book banning in schools. I'm not talking about banning troonie shit I'm talking 1984 or To Kill a Mocking Bird. Some states are restricting children's access to libraries in the name of "parental choice". At a time when we have the lowest levels of literacy and numeracy. And then we genuinely wonder why our kids are so retarded.

 

[Male Idiot]

Ok so riddle me this, how is AI any worse than the (((CIA))) and the (((Banksteins))) ?

All the menaces you list for the AI are things the US government does with full force, had been doing for a century, and would pursue without AI for (((Greatest Ally))).

At least robot workers wouldn't shit on your doorstep Saaaar.

Fuck off, cunt. I don't know about medicine, but machine learning has made a tangible, positive impact on even your life already. It already plays a significant role in transport through route optimization which you probably use in Google Maps. It is key to estimate yields, monitor crop health and detect potential disease outbreaks in agriculture. Disaster management also benefits from it as you need ML to better model flood risk for example.

I'd hate if the current LLM retardation suddenly made everyone hostile towards machine learning which is genuinely a worthwhile field to put more money in. Again, conflating LLMs with true AI and the broader field of machine learning is poison.

I'd probably agree with you if most of the shit being pushed as a benefit wasn't gearing toward socially inept coomers and speeding up the dead internet theory.

The internet used to be a military thing, so I wonder how long they've had this ultimate propaganda video and photo-generating shit and just haven't made it public until now?

Last year, ChatGPT was the 17th most visited site in the world. Now it’s #5

The sinking level of literacy are indications of 1) shitty educational system and 2) shitty parenting when kids spend 90% of time with gadgets watching retarded reels because their parents do the same. The ability to maintain attention long enough to be able to read a book / listen to a longer meaningful video is a skill which needed to be trained. I'm horrified by how many people are unable to listen to longer sentences because their attention simply slips away or they become "overwhelmed". I guess it's like with food, if one consumes junk food slop you fuck up one's digestion and become fat. The same is with info slop - consume shit and become retarded.

I'm only pro AI when I want to make a mediocre artist seethe and send me a whole ass essay why its bad and how I'm enabling cronie capitalist or some shit which gives me the excuse to post this to them

A furry porn artist pretending to be an anarchist who will blow up AI servers does not convince me that AI will produce 1000 shakespeare plays a second at some point. This technology has been around for years now and it almost only produces slop. 100 million SEAmonkeys on computers typing prompts will not eventually make a masterpiece, just infinite brain numbing cat torture SLOP for children.
