I have realized a lot of posts on here mostly criticizing the data collection of people to train A.I, but I don’t think A.I upon itself is bad, because A.I- like software development- has many ways of implementations: Software can either control the user, or the user can control the software, and also like software development, some software might be for negative purposes while others may be for better purposes, so saying “Fuck Software” just because of software that controls the user feels pretty unfair, and I know A.I might be used for replacing jobs, but that has happened many times before, and it is mostly a positive move forward like with the internet. Now, I’m not trying to start a big ass debate on how A.I = Good, because as mentioned before, I believe that A.I is as good as its uses are. All I want to know from this post is why you hate A.I as a general topic. I’m currently writing a research paper on this topic, so I would like some opinion.
Oh yeah i hate “AI”
It’s a lie
It’s not intelligent, it’s not even new tech
LLMs were improved via semantic analysis instead of lexical and then they could mimick/break down human speech well enough to translate and communicate.
Then marketing teams looked at this autocomplete bot that can mimick a person’s speech and said “Yep, we can trick people into thinking this is Artificial Intelligence”
And this is what our Capitalist overloards are now doubling down on instead of us having a world where we actually understand what AI is and want real technological advancements to happen that lead to intelligent digital life.
Also it’s incredibly energy inefficient, each datacenter for these things is already sucking up a city’s worth of power just for us to use it to steal other people’s work and ideas.
