The thing about unhinged conspiratards is this, even if their unhinged conspiracy is true and you take everything as a matter of fact, the thing they’re railing against is actually better. Like on this case. Deepseek, from what we can tell, is better. Even if they spent $500Bil and are undercutting the competition that’s capitalism baby! I think ai is a farce and those resources should be put to better use.
Snake oil will be snake oil even in 100 years. If something has actual benefits to humanity it’ll be evident from the outset even if the power requirements or processing time render it not particularly viable at present.
Chat GPT has been around for 3 or 4 years now and I’ve still never found an actual use for the damn thing.
AI is overhyped but it’s obvious that some time later in the future, AI will be able to match human intelligence. Some guy in 1600s probably said the same about the first steam powered vehicle that it will still be snake oil in 100 years. But little did he know that he is off by about 250 years.
That’s my point though the first steam-powered vehicles were obviously promising. But all large language models can do it parrot back at you what they already know which they got from humanity.
I thought AI was supposed to be super intelligent and was going to invent teleporters, and make us all immortal and stuff. Humans don’t know how to do those things so how can a parrot work it out?
Of course the earlier models of anything are bad. Although the entire concept and practicals will eventually be improved upon as other foundational and prerequisite technologies are met and enhances the entire project. And of course, all progress doesn’t happen overnight.
I’m not fanboying AI but I’m not sure why the dismissive tone as if we live in a magical world where technology should have now let us travel through space and time (I mean, I wish we could). The first working AI is already here. It’s still AI even if it’s in its infancy.
I found ChatGPT useful a few times, to generate alternative rewordings for a paragraph I was writing. I think the product is worth a one-time $5 purchase for lifetime access.

The moment deepseek seeks (haha, see what i did there) to freely talk about Tiananmen square, I’ll admit it’s better
you can already do so buy running it localy. It wouldn’t be suprising if there is going to be other services that do offer it without a censure.
For now.
