LLMs aint curing no fucking cancer

Closest thing to that would be the Folding project that Google just shut down.

    Not to "both sides" here, but please both sides, be specific in what AI you're talking about or think someone's talking about. The conversation makes 0 progress otherwise and is no better than a circlejerk. Cancer curing AI can still exist without hungry data centers and plagiarism. You can be anti 99% of AI and still work to preserve the 1%, it's not hard people.

    Yes it is hard - because the only AI most people have ever "witnessed" and been aware of "this is called AI" is LLMs and image generating. For a horryfying number of people, "AI" is only these two things. By the same mechanism, usage of the term in media says "AI" 90% of the times when it really means just LLMs. We would have to explicitly specify all the time, and people just can't be arsed

    Massive resources are being used to build things in a useless attempt to get rid of workers

    All those resources never showed up to help research teams finding a cure to cancer.

    "AI" as corporations and everyone call it does not exist, those are LLMs. Actual AI is what they're trying, and failing, to create.

    No, AI is a much broader term, including image generation, (face) recognition, decision making (for example applications), ...

    This includes medical applications like cancer recognition. You can support one because it's doing good while criticizing others because they do harm or do not work at all.

    The post talks about Anti-AI crowd opposing the rapid development of AI.

    The only AI being rapidly developed is LLMs.

    The post is conflating AI with LLMs and so do quite a number of people here. You can support one kind of AI while criticizing others. There are promising medical applications.

    You know. I am over 40 now. I will not see the full impact of the climate crisis, even with AI boosting its progress.

    And I very much OP is younger than 30 so he can actually experience how coop AI is after it destroyed our climate
