At the moment, AI is just a glorified autocomplete and I think it does more harm than good. (For LLMs). Is it a useful tool? Definitely. Should it replace jobs? Hell no. Is it being used as an excuse for the current recession and layoffs caused by offshoring? Hell yes. Is it killing the internet and propagating fake news? Definitely
If we’re talking about other applications (computer vision, image processing etc), then yes. I think think the surveillance states (face verification) and Ukraine-Russia war heavily uses these applications
People repeat that like it has some value, but it’s really just words. If autocomplete is glorified to the point of outputting something amazing, what is the value of saying it. I’m not saying it is, but if autocomplete spits out Shakespeare, “glorified autocomplete” is amazing.
I mean, in a sense, brains are just glorified autocomplete. So…?
