Any other technology? How about 3D TVs, smart glasses, blockchain, NFTs, the Metaverse?

Sorry don't remember any of those other technologies using so much resources, raising prices for everyone else as they don't pay the actual cost. And being wrong about stuff.

Bullshit, fuck your false equivalency. This tech is good at generaating slop, propaganda, and destroying critical thinking. Thats it. It has zero value.

LLMs are shit, fuck LLMs. They fuel billionaires, destroy the environment, kill critical thinking, confidently tell you to off yourself, praise Hitler, advocate for glue as a pizza topping. This tech is a war on artists and free thought and needs to be destroyed. Stop normalizing, stop using it.

And AI is a pipe dream no one is close to fulfilling, won’t be realized by feeding LLMs all of the data in existence, and billionaires are destroying our economy in their pursuit of it.

Doesn't work that way unfortunately. Ask a person on the street what AI is and theyll tell you whatever flavor slop generator they're familiar with. You're not going to see much pushback on ML around the Fediverse.

who owns the datacenters?

It baits investors into giving them money, mainly.

I'm pretty anti AI as it is a tool of the billionaire class to enslave the masses. Look up TESCREAL, its the digital eugenics billionaires and fringe philosiphers believe in and it is the driving force in the AI push.

That being said I can see a use for a focused, local LLM/AI assistant. I have to search a lot of confidential technical manuals, schematics and trust cases in my job. We are thinking about testing out Ollama to upload all our documents too to make searching them easier.

"I've never seen it it must not exist"

I work in a creative industry too and it is the bane of not only my group but every other company I've spoken to. Every artist and musician I know hates it too.

Even before our current time, "nobody cares" is not a thermostat reading of what "really matters". It almost sounds like you believe people know what's best for themselves, when the truth of the matter is that humanity has long proved otherwise.

Look up dot com bubble. We still have the internet. Just because AI is over-hyped and in a bubble doesn't mean it won't still have uses.

If that hammer also had massive environmental impacts and hammers were pushed into every aspect of your life while also stealing massive amounts of copyrighted data, sure. It's very useful for problems that can be easily verified, but the only reason it's good at those is from the massive amount of stolen data.

Is the hammer making nude images of children?

OK so why is AI so big right now because it isn't profitable. Even there most expensive tier is losing them money. Then you have the data centers getting breaks on electricity so the rest of us cost goes up to make the difference. Where is this magical profitability that is driving AI.

The use in radiology is not a good thing. Hospitals are cutting trained technicians and making the few they keep double check more images per day as a backup for AI. If they were just using it as an aide and the humans were still analyzing the same number of picturea that would be fine but capitalism sees a way to save a buck and people will die as a result.

That big ol list of things didn’t do it for you, huh?

I honestly don’t know where this hatred for AI comes from

Did you try reading the comment you just replied to?

The G means Generative

The P means Pre-trained.

The T means Transformer.

It is not learning directly from its users, although the planned state-full amazon infrastructure will likely change thos.
