Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
To offer a counternarative, we don't really know where AI will plateau, what will a 1 quadrillion parameter language model look like? And will it make my degree worthless by comparison lol?
Eve when when it does, we will still have hallucination. It will still be impossible to guarantee a correct answer. It'll be more accurate, but those problems require heavy rethinking to models themselves, more accurate models will lessen it but it won't go away
What is your degree to you? A means by which to qualify for a job? Or the lens through which you perceive and shape the world around you for the better?
Because AI might some far-flung day make the former obsolete, but I don't think ever the latter.
