   @laurel General AI is currently a myth and decades away as no one is really working on it.
   
   With LLM's you have potentially a useful personal assistant but one that can only identify works or image trends that can connect together. They have no way of relating to the outside world.
   
   It is not the great thing that it is sold as.

     @Aether @laurel 100% agree on LLM, they are mostly dogshit.
     people use the API but 90% will be trash applications, many that seem good now can not work.
     people overhype chatGPT because they can ask it programming and specific questions. My theory, only because they cannot compare it to 2014 google, because they broke that so it now only returns trash.
     
     what is good that it solves the busywork problem in school because students just have chatGPT write it to escape the "5000 word essay on civil rights niggers" humiliation ritual. public schooling will have to react with trials of actual competence, or fade further into irrelevance

     AI is 100% a bubble.
     But computer vision isn't, and the inability of firms to use it for viable products shows some deep problems with the industry.
     Also, AI ethics is much more than the author says. They're a way to legislate every model being pozzed and to increase the capital required for entry so that companies like OpenAI have an easier time rather than just the good government putting a stop to the AI bubble.

     What kind of bubble are LLaMa's?

     Obviously this fake AI is a bubble, but is it the kind that leaves some value behind after the fires die down, or is it the kind where you just have to eat your losses and maybe your children?
     
     Image-generation AI suggests the former; textual AI suggests the latter.
