Which technology caused the great depression? Same with 2008-crisis? Weren’t both of them caused by inflated house prices?
All of thos technologies you have mentioned is AI though? And it is not really marketing people rather than the umbrella term for all those techs. But yes we do agree in that the term is being used defensively.
Also saying no one want LLMs is a bit subjective, a year ago I would have agreed with you, it is shit and it is everywhere. But currently it is for example way easier for me to do searches and research on subjects I do not fully grasp yet. So I can only imagine how much better it has gotten from less tech savy people, and people with disabilities.
I mean all the comments and even OP himself only talk about LLMs when pointing to stuff that is dumb or bad about AI. So clarifying that there are other part to it also seems not that wild, tbh.
Whom do you mean?
I mean you can just google AI projects in healthcare. I am in one of them! :D
Oh okey, yes that could also be it.
If anything I am clarifying the terms, but you are correct that is does not matter. Even if we call all of it AI, there are still clear benefits to the whole technology.
Except for when it is.
This statement is true but somewhat for the wrong reason, LLM is a tool. And if a none dev uses it to create code, and just let their hands of the wheel then yes, shit will break and it will be bad. But enviornments like a missile silo, is already within itself a solved problem, but also has procedures to counteract the thing you yourself highlighted. Bad code and bad code practices existed before AI, and will continue to exist after AI.
It does not decide anything, it is an LLM. But for example what do you bring to a code review of a 10k+ lines to replace one parameter with another? The AI can do a very quick and efficient search for basic or clear bugs, and sometimes even logical errors, but yes should not remove the human altogether. But claiming that an AI would have no use in a PR workflow is ignorant.
I gave you a scenario where it is not harmful, even LLMs brings a lot to the usability of tools etc. Sure currently it is very costly, but framing it as little to no benefit is disingenous.
Luckily AI is at least somewhat good at also checking the code! :D
Well this happens with any big technology innovation, jobs become redundant and are therefore removed. We have to remember however that economy as a whole, and with that jobs. Are a human construction, we create jobs for ourselfs so we can be part of a collective that at least theoretically works together.
So we will just create new jobs or things for us to do. Even when we reach singularity.
Why does that scare you? Because it implies that you are not important enough that they dignify you with a personal message?
I would rather see it as them being lazy, and that yes they have no personal connection to you. You are only someone they need for their work.
I am personally saving lifes with AI, AI is not only LLMs.
You be profen?
Botox?
