Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)?
Real AI does not exist yet,
atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models),
which do not think on their own,
but pass turing tests
(fool humans into thinking that they can think).
Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword,
created by rich capitalistic a-holes,
who already invested in LLM stocks,
and now are looking for a profit.
We do have A.I. The Turing test is there for a reason. We just don’t have what movies told us A.I. would be like. Corporations don’t need an A.I. that can think for itself to replace you. In fact, that’s one of the reasons to replace you.
Yeah, because having a chatbot that agrees to sell a car for $1 or writes a poem for customers trashing the company it represents is so much better than having something that can think for itself…
It did what it was asked to do. That’s a pretty good employee to have behind the scenes. As for customer facing roles like car salesman, we’ll have people for a while until they figure out how to make it less agreeable in certain circumstances. But it’ll only need to be one person verifying the work of 50+ car sales a day. Much more efficient than an all human team.
