Is anyone who uses AI just an "AI folk" now?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I wish it wasn't true but yah. they consult ai for everything.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not in my opinion. I would say “AI people” are those who believe in it too much or evangelize it

[–] [email protected] -5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think it's better at explaining beliefs than science is, and has been shown to be by art throughout history.

Try watching the Haruhi anime or Your Name.

Or any sci fi.

Or fantasy.

The LLMs of today are a useful tool, but they are far from conscious.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They basically are. You should watch Youtube right now. Watch Dream play modern Minecraft.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Are you implying that dream is an AI? Or do people like, upload AI copies of him?

If it’s the former, that’s absurd. If it’s the latter, that doesn’t prove consciousness. AI voice replication is done by text to speech. A conscious human would type out what the voice should say.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. Well done. Keep questioning this stuff. I haven't got too far yet either

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I work in the tech industry so I am forced to understand new technologies. This one is unique in that it plays on the human brain’s innate tendency to anthropomorphize things.

It also does a great job of presenting information

I've seen some people on Twitter complain that their coworkers use ChatGPT to write emails or summarize text. To me this just echoes the complaints made by previous generations against phones and calculators. There's a lot of vitriol directed at anyone who isn't staunchly anti AI and dares to use a convenient tool that's avaliable to them.

I think my main issue with that use case is that it's a "solution" to a relatively minor problem (which has a far simpler solution), that actually compounds the problem.

Let's say I don't want to write prose for my email, I have a list of bullet points I want to get across. Awesome, I feed it into the chat gippity and boom, my points are (hopefully) property represented in prose.

Now, the recipient doesn't want to read prose. ESPECIALLY if it's the fluffy wordy-internet-recipe-preamble that the chat gippity tends to produce. They want a bullet point summary. So they feed it into the chat gippity to get what is (hopefully) a properly condensed bullet point summary.

So, suddenly we have introduced a fallible middle translation layer for actually no reason.

Just write the clear bullet point email in the first place. Save everyone the time. Save everyone from the 2 chances for the chat gippity to fuck it up.

I'm not on twitter, but frankly the strongly anti-AI I see is often from techy places. HN and lemmy are two main ones.

Case in point with you already having a downvote xD

Edit: Lmao

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

People who are using it to solve problems which require equivalent effort of writing a sufficient prompt and just directly solving it without AI at all for sure are AI folk.

I don't have the equipment or cybernetics to have this title yet.
