    AI is just a tool like anything else. What’s the saying again? "AI doesn’t kill people, capitalism kills people?

    I do AI research for climate and other things and it’s absolutely widely used for so many amazing things that objectively improve the world. It’s the gross profit-above-all incentives that have ruined “AI” (in quotes because the general public sees AI as chatbots and funny pictures, when it’s so much more).

      The quotes are because “AI” doesn’t exist. There are many programs and algorithms being used in a variety of way. But none of them are “intelligent”.

      There is literally no intelligence in a climate model. It’s just data + statistics + compute. Please stop participating in the pseudo-scientific grift.

      Are you talking about AI or LLM branded as LLM?

      Actual AI is accurate and efficient because it is designed for specific tasks. Unlike LLM which is just fancy autocomplete.

        Even llms are useful for coding, if you keep it in its auto complete lane instead of expecting it to think for you

        Just don’t pay a capitalist for it, a tiny, power efficient model that runs on your own pc is more than enough

          Yes technology can be useful but that doesn’t make it “intelligent.”

          Seriously why are people still promoting auto-complete as “AI” at this point in time? It’s laughable.
