Algorithms are like AI but accurate, predictable and usually much faster.

Omg, did you just invent MicroAI's? I love it. Huge potential.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Maybe they could be called AIgorithms instead of Algorithms.

more like marketing bad, which i wholeheartedly agree with

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's not what the meme is about? It's about how everything is marketed as AI these days, even if there's no machine learning involved whatsoever.

My favorite example

But 9/10 Lemmy users are super pissed about anything "LLM" (I don't dare say AI, since what we have now is NoThInG mOrE tHaN a PaRrOt)

It is not machine learning and LLM that pisses off Lemmy users. Its the application of said technologies. I don't give a flying fuck what people are doing with ChatGPT, its novel. I want a generative AI that can help me code.

I don't agree. Every time I have tried to point out that GitHub copilot is a helpful tool, the trolls come out of the woodwork to tell me I'm wrong and a shitty developer

My team or I have not had very much luck with it. We were spending a lot of time picking out bad generated code.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

I have luck with it daily. I wouldn't want to return to writing code without ever having little shortcuts builtin to my workflow throughout every day. It certainly saves me time and I have some other teammates who agree. Some luddites on the team also, but I don't let their fear bog me down. I think everyone who is strictly against copilot actually has failed to ever try it
