Artificial Intelligence is not as bad as you think, you're just not reading allat

Man.. Every day feels like AI is being pushed so far and for the wrong reasons. From being used to farm user data for the sake of publi...

I like your post, but I see some issues with it. You are saying This is why, models can never be 100% accurate? How can you know this, we cannot tell the future so saying something like this is false and discredits your credibility in my opinion.

We understand the world around us through our senses, which take in input. There are many different input devices in the field of engineering.

The new models are getting better at being omnidirectional, taking in the world around them.

If we could invent the transformer to “just predict words,” we can probably invent something even more advanced. With the help of AI that can amplify our learning and understanding, new achievements can boost the development of innovative technologies. I think you are underestimating this a lot. I have never seen any kind of technology advance at the same speed as these new systems. They have been around for a while, but what’s happened in the last year is, in my opinion, crazy. When someone says it can’t do X or Y and will never be able to do this or that, it has proven naysayers wrong over and over again.

I think your static mindset about the capabilities of these systems is short-sighted.

Just my opinion—sorry if I was harsh, but I’m tired of the skepticism when we see results that are frankly unbelievable.

I get it and now that I think about it, it kinda contradicts with what I've said in the post. There's been some huge advances with AI in many fields, we're only some searches away from knowing that and they definitely should not be diminished or just taken lightly. While I was writing all of that down, I only had ChatGPT and the other text generative models in mind and it was pretty short-sighted of my part.
Thanks for pointing that out!

I was thinking the same thing! Their "world" is very veeeery convoluted because there isn't a single answer to what even the world is. I think, the fact that information, nowadays at least, can't be found in a precise way like it used to be before really hurt this LLMs during training and now we can see it during deployment.

The use of AI is really on its way of changing millions of lifes for the better

And what about the billions, that have no access to this technology at all?

I don't have the answer to that question. That answer is in the hands of their governors and if they really want to do good with the current technology, sadly.

My greates concern about AI is not what AI does, but what the people will (or can) do with it.

I feel you bro! I myself have a lot of feelings regarding Ai. I use it all the time and it has helped me tremendously, but im a bit scared of the future..

I am too. AI is covering too much too quickly.
