I really don’t care about labelling AI as unintelligent. A calculator is intelligent for all I care. It’s a pretty arbitrary label originating from the desire of putting us above other species and others of the same species. I don’t think that general intelligence is a thing really.
Almost all casual AI views are split into two opposite positions: that it will overtake humans and take over the world (“singularity”), and that it has no intelligence at all and is a scam (“talking parrots”). Neither is correct.
I think you are mistaken in the assumption that those two positions are talking about the same thing. One is mostly talking possible potential, the other about currently existing systems.
edit: Part of the first position, and I think this is were it gets a bit cultish, aren’t talking about possible potential of AI but about inevitable outcomes. But still people talking about the singularity almost never mean currently existing AI.
It’s only a problem when people spam the same links to all of these communities. As long as the content is somewhat unique I happily subscribe to multiple communities with the same name on multiple instances.
This is just I don’t want to get sued speak, no?
It’s probably just a teflon spray on coating that prevents the pee from soaking into the wall. The rest is marketing.
Private property should be abolished.
A recipient responds. If you consider the response to adapt your work (current or future), that’s feedback.
That’s still feedback.
Feedback can be based on very simple rules and still be feedback. Or in case of LLMs piles of statistics.
Sure that tells us that some of the massive investments are stupid because their end-product won’t have much or any value.
You still have a bunch of workers that used to produce something of value that required a certain amount of amount of labor that is now replaced by slop.
So the conclusion of the analysis ends up fairly similar, you just sound more like a dork in the process.
That’s kind of like the how people where talking about how genai always fucks up the hands in pictures. I don’t think that’s permanent
GenAI can be kind of useful when you use it on purpose. But it will be used to make anything bureaucratic an even bigger nightmare. After sale customer support, talking to humans in a call center at least incurs costs to the corporation, with gen AI they can keep you in the loop forever for cents.
Unemployment claims, immigration, disability pay, hiring are also all made worse by AI.
They are coming for our jobs. Or at least they making our jobs worse.
Energy, water, computation …
I think this is one of the weaker arguments tbh.
Corporations get away with blatant mass theft of intellectual property
Destruction of social reasoning
Science & academia already was in a bad spot with reproducibility crisis, fake/bad studies. Now this is automated.
Instead of letting humans do creative work, too much attention will be taken up reviewing slop.
This problem also exists in social and traditional media.
People also put a lot of implicit trust in AI answers when the answer might just be based on a whitewashed shitpost or wrong for other reasons. With websearch it’s easier to judge yourself whether the source is to be trusted.
This will be worse in the future when either companies learn how to manipulate datasets to get ahead (similar to search engine optimization). Or when AI companies will just straight up places advertisements in AI answers.
People replacing their human friends with AI friends and partners isn’t healthy.
Who would win in a fight? Cinema ticket or torrent?
Actually existing electoralism
Real electoralism has never been tried before
For many liberals having elections is the highest political priority.
So electoralism working is a tautology for them.
You can take Google out of Android but not Android out of Google.
They sure are trying https://fuchsia.dev/
I think we are going to need a bigger Hague
And they can do that based on the way your write text posts too, so probably not worth worrying about camera sensor fingerprinting too much.
Just don’t post about your insurrection plans on public forums in general, with or without photos.
