      "Magic” is just technology that’s sufficiently advanced hasn’t yet been commercially exploited.

        Has it? I mean, all this “AI” news is pretty annoying, but how has it impacted our daily lives? ChatGPT has only made mine better.

          Most search engines are practically unusable due to the massive amount of garbage AI generated sites that take up the search results while having just platantly false information.

            I haven’t used a search engine since I started using ChatGPT. It does all the heavy lifting for me.

                  Most of the time, information that you’re doing something wrong should be enough to prompt you to dig deeper into the matter. It’s not the job of perfect strangers to educate you.

              The problem with using it as a search engine is that if it doesn’t know the answer it commonly makes things up. I tried using it for work but it got details wrong enough to make it useless.

                You can’t trust search engine results either. It’s just another tool that you use to arrive at a conclusion. You still have to do work.

                  You could in the past. About 6 years ago or so the top 3 results were almost always correct.

                  Currently you can’t because of the AI generated content that gets things wrong the same way as using an AI as a search engine.

            But that has nothing to do with ChatGPT. It’s what some people were blaming on all of the layoffs when it came out. That would have happened regardless. The news just loves a clickable headline.

            Most of these companies will start rehiring again. They just did it to trim the fat, cut the high earners, and get people back in at a lower rate because they’re desperate for work.

            Tale as old as time.

                That is not at all what I said, and you clearly didn’t read my comment. I’m not defending them. I’m saying it’s not the fault of AI. They were gonna fire them anyway to lower costs, and get cheaper workers. (A bad thing)

                Apologize, you fucking cunt.

      I saw through chat GPT’s gimmic right away.

      Having said that, image generation to me was and still is magic. Not because I don’t understand it, but because I saw it as a way to get people with imagination but no skill to actually make art.

      Having said that, the reality and how it is used is different.

        I love it for asset creation and texture for games. As a programmer with 0 artistic skill it has been a god send to be able to do far higher quality UI while not bogging down my prototyping time.

        But for like truely unique art… It’s kind of a mess. Like try to get an AI to make a dwarf warrior with a Lance riding on the shoulders of an anthropomorphic cat person, who is dressed in monk robes.

        AI struggles so hard with unique scenes like that… For now…

    Somebody woke up and realized that LLM AI is just search rebranded to get more VC funding.

    FOSS implementations need to be encouraged and supported at every turn on this, it’s almost certainly the only way forward with any reasonably open ethical consideration.

    What a terrible article.

    TLDR: good inventions lose their novelty and become practical. AI has lost its novelty so it’s about to become great?

    Kind of skips the whole practicality aspect.

    It was a hype train for normies who wanted to become relevant in “tech” conversations without knowing shit. Like blockchain before it, and smartphone models before blockchain. And for other normies who dreamed that now that technology will finally make computers able to do what’s told in natural language, like in the movies, and engineers obsolete.

    For me it’ll become more magical, when used appropriately.

    Kudos to the person (or, ironically, AI model) who chose that picture, though. Pepto Popsicle is the best euphemism for LLMs as AI that I can imagine.

    I still use large-language models for fun. My fav phone reviewer is Marques Brownlee. I compared his best big phones in his phone awards to Claude 3 opus’ best big phones – I asked Opus. I wanted to see the similarities and differences for fun.

    I’ve been :) with the tight competition too. Claude 3 is making Gpt 4 and Gemini sweat.

    It’s not even “artificial intelligence”.

    Seriously, “artificial intelligence” suggests, (defines?) self aware.

    AI is ridiculous machine language algorithms.
