Amazing.
Gotta love how Lemmy immediately blocks / downvotes anything AI, simply because it’s AI, with no nuance.
Interesting post, thanks for sharing
for one, the term AI has become loaded and anyone using it has to know what kind of baggage comes with it. but for another this isn’t just anything with AI. it’s OpenAI specifically. this is not just a neat science thing it’s a company doing indirect marketing and whitewashing of their tech. trying to get a better image than what i and many think they deserve.
so yes people will not want to let this type of marketing and image whitewashing happen will downvote.
i hope this is the nuance you were missing. it doesn’t change anything on my dislike for this tho. as cool as it might be if you ignore everything else that surrounds this headline.
The nuance I was referencing is that there’s a difference between LLMs being used for consumers and capitalism as a whole, and AI models solving 80 year old mathematical problems. This is what this new technology is best used for, for solving problems no person or computer could solve up until this point. If you’re going to shit on everything because AI bad, then you’re advocating for a world in which science progression grinds to a relative halt. AI is also excellent when it comes to analyzing healthcare data, particularly at identifying cancer. If you were being assessed for cancer, would you tell your oncologist to not use any AI software to help them diagnose? If so, I hope you enjoy literally dying on that hill. If not, you’re a hypocrite who should acknowledge that sometimes AI is good for something, even if that’s the exception and not the rule.
I posted it because it is really neat, but I think I shouldn’t have. I know many here are psychologically distressed by AI. While I still would post things that are important enough that they should be known, this is probably not it (unless you are a mathematician, but this is not a very STEM community).
Good observation and reflection
