Great right from coin miners to the “AI” fad. Tons of carbon shot into the sky and for what? A more unequal society on both counts.
Sure, we destroyed the planet, but we did it so we could produce valuable artwork like this:
Yeah, I’d say it was worth it. It also gave us this:

Heros on the Advil!
Turtle Back pain! 🎵 🎶
I can’t decide if I want this to have been written by an AI or not.
I’m not an AI, thought of it a few days ago, and this seemed like a good opportunity to deploy it
Worth every flood and fire
At least AI has the potential to do something useful unlike coin mining. Although its not doing much currently so not to wild about it. Maybe real ai that could actually find new energy sources.
General artificial intelligence has the potential to be actually useful. Generative AI, like Chat GPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) absolutely does not. It’s a glorified autocomplete.
I had to help my wife with an Excel VBA script. I know a few programming languages but I don’t know vba. Hours of googling turned up no useable scripts that did what I needed. ChatGPT wrote a working VBA script in seconds.
Anyone who thinks it is a fancy auto complete hasn’t used it.
It is a fancy auto complete, just an incredibly fancy auto complete. In the same way that a computer that can run VR games, simulate the evolution of solar systems let you access something close to the sum total of human knowledge over the internet is a very fancy pocket calculator.
I’d tried using it for python and it made up some fake library that does not exist to handle the complex task I was asking it do it. Utterly useless. The way it works is so complicated is simply has you fooled thinking it’s more than a fancy auto complete, but it is literally exactly that. Just the “smartest” auto complete there is. Don’t worry about it, at least you did not fall it love with it and then left your wife to be with ChatGPT, right?
As someone that works in IT and has seen the actual real world merit of LLMs, you guys clearly don’t work in a white collar field or you’d realize that you sound like someone in the 90’s claiming the internet is a fad.
Microsoft continues to integrate it, and on prem data and cloud engineers are hooking it up to company resources for everything from helping with data creep to handling low level repetitive tasks.
In the next ten years all bottom level data entry will be performed entirely by on premise AI models and the position of secretary will be a thing of the past, it’s not a gimmick like NFTs or crypto, it’s an actual tool that we are finding more uses for everyday.
Its a little useful. Its another level of meta. initially research was libraries and books/docs but you could get synopsis from atlases, encyclopedias, dictionaries. Internet allowed for gopher searching and then web browsers allowed search engines but the results did not initially have synapses so you had to check each link. Then synapsis allowed looking through links and just checking the most promising ones. generative ai allows for the most promising links to be identified without perusal. One of the most useful things the ai assitants do is provide you the main links they got their info from.
And document search is just a glorified library 🙄
Don’t know why you are being downvoted. This is exactly it. If ChatGPT can find you a solution, then that solution is already out there and it just stole it from some human. That is fundamentally how ChatGPT works, the damn thing can’t think.
How, exactly, do you think learning in humans works? We don’t just spontaneously know things, we build on others works and iterate improvements towards our learning and discovery. You didn’t just know English, you learned it from someone else who learned it ad infinitum until you get back to the earliest stages of complex chemicals we evolved from.
When considered objectively and rationally, intellectual property is among the most insane imaginary bullshit humanity every came up with and actually adopted as a practice, but here we are. Thoughts and prayers.
