If everyone's just gonna down vote this I'm not sure there's any room for understanding in this crowd

    Looks like you're the one without understanding.

    Even if I grant that there's a few super helpful uses that are good for humanity (and I don't grant that at all), it's still actively harmful to the other 99.3% of us.

    Unless you're saying it can end cancer, keep us young forever, provide literally limitless energy, and instantaneous networking, all while giving us potential to explore the universe, then it's still not worth what it's costing us RIGHT NOW.

    Until you can make it do any of that without being owned or pushed by CEOs for money, then it will never be worth it.

    Sure it could be useful if it didn't cost anything and did everything, but that's about as far as I believe it.

    It should stay in the research and theory phase until it's perfect. And it never will be, hence most people attitudes on it. No. 00000001% change of finding a good execution of a use is worth what it is costing us to try out.

    The issue is people downoting him for stating a simple fact.

    Like, I also use AI a bit, it can hepp productivity a lot too, and my opinion is still that overall if we had no ML at all the world woild be a better place than now, and that's despite the many extremely good use cases for ML and even LLMs.

    Even having a conversation about that will take a while to happen because most people think that AI literally means something like ChatGPT.

    I don't know enough about the other kinds to say much definitively, but I do completely invalidate generative AI being of any possible use as I understand it. Other than as a tech demo. Seeing what Sora could do was interesting as a matter of curiosity about what it was possible to get to happen with it current tech.

    But I don't think it should ever be used as literally anything other than a demo of what is literally possible.

    My point is the group here has made it quite clear there's no room for honest discussion. And that's pretty weak.

    There would be, if it was any less black and white. Show something worth discussing and people would jump at that conversation.

    Given that they're doesn't seen to be much coming up in that vein, there's no room. Room would be made of there was something to make room for.

    Billionaire tech bros stole all of the information on the internet and are using to make CSAM. it’s making all our energy prices increase and using up all of our water.

    If you really can’t understand why people aren’t into that I really don’t know what else to tell you.

    You really just prove my point. Someone posted they found a good use for it and you just want to scream at them. That's not a discussion.

    Except that no one screamed at them. Everyone posted a reasonable explanation as to why ai is a slop of shit. If that’s not a discussion then I don’t know what to tell you.
