We have this guy at work whose only job is to make everything more AI-friendly.
He has claimed AI makes work easier. He demonstrated how he could make a PowerPoint in 5 minutes while it may take a human a day.
Heβs annoying and nobody likes him.
Someday, everyone will have always been against this.
Yes, my industry is revising their standard to say something about needing processes to control the use of "AI". Literally a sentence long. So I pointed out that as written it would apply to spell check and face ID to unlock my phone and Google search engine and so on. "Oh, that's not what we mean, we mean like ChatGPT". They need to write that before they publish an absolute shit requirement for the industry to wrestle with.
I've done the second one and then realized after how stupid and hypocritical I am.
So now here I am calling myself out on the internet to strangers.
Different than the other 100% of people? Iβd say itβs a pretty mixed bag. Half love it, half hate it, and only 10% of either party even knows how to use it.
That's a reason why I much prefer the term "machine learning" (and cringe a bit at even that) to AI for anything short of AGI.
I do certainly think it's a great achievement to have computers able to 'hear' and 'see' for example, but I don't think that was ever properly "intelligence" on its own.
And don't get me started on pathfinding/combat algorithms for NPCs in games.
