I hate AI because it's a waste of finite resources.
I hate it because it's supported by a system of corruption and greed that is destroying the economy.
I hate it because all major AI vendors have supported or abetted criminals in circumventing democracy worldwide.
I hate it because it isn't AI, it's a LLM.
You're confusing AI with AGI...
Speech to text is ai, llm's are ai... But they're not conscious
AI helps fly planes when pilots lose consciousness.
AI helps surgeons perform microscopic surgery through robotic tools.
AI performs large algorithmic and logistically complex tasks based on a specific set of requirements to a detailed task.
These aren't new concepts. These are technologies that have existed for the last 30-40 years.
Our definition of "AI" today has been muddled due to marketing manipulation.
LLMs are not AI. LLMs have existed for the last 20-30 years. I played with one in 2000. it was a sex chat bot. it literally did exactly the same things current LLMs do today except it emulates speech patterns better.
AGI is just another marketing word. Ignore it, it doesn't exist.
A sex chat bot is ai.
Ai doesn't mean it's intelligent
LLM'S do a lot more than mimic speech patterns.
And I know AGI doesn't exist
being a human clearly doesn't either.
Look up the definition of artificial intelligence, you fucking idiot
Isn’t that just the definition of USA?
You mean like the video games industry?
