The world doesn’t allow us to disconnect tech and capitalism. Why should we be happy about the tech just for the techs sake? People aren’t adverse to the tech. They are against its use to further our exploitation.
Is that so? I don’t find it odd at all when the only thing LLMs are good at so far is losing people their jobs and lowering the quality of essentially everything they get shoved into.
Cry about it. Crypto bros make the same excuses to this day prove your bullshit works before you start shoving it in my face. And yes, LLMs are really unhelpful. There’s extremely little value you can get out of them (outside of generating text that looks like a human wrote it which is what they are designed to do) unless you are a proper moron.
I have used them in a large variety of ways, from general knowledge seeking to specific knowledge seeking, writing code, generating audio, images, and video. I use it most days, if not essentially every day. What examples would you like me to provide? Tell me and I will provide them.
I’ve used them and have yet to get a fully correct result on anything I’ve asked beyond the absolute basics. I always have to go in and correct some aspect of whatever it shits out. Scraping every bit of data they can get their hands on is only making the problem worse.
To say you’ve never gotten a fully correct result on anything has to be hyperbole. These things are tested. We know their hallucination rate, and it’s not 100%.
It is the shittiest tech. If you think this bullshit will actually lead to AGI, something that wouldn’t be shit, you don’t know much about LLMs or are incredibly delusional.
The issue isn’t with AI, it’s with how companies position it. When they claim it’ll do everything and solve all your issues and then it struggles with some tasks a 10 year old could do, it creates a very negative image.
It also doesn’t help that they hallucinate with a lot of confidence and people use them as a solution, not as a tool - meaning they blindly accept the first answer that came out.
If the creators of models made more reasonable claims and the models were generally able to convey their confidence in the answers they gave maybe the reception wouldn’t be so cold. But then there wouldn’t be hype and AI wouldn’t be actively shoved into everything.
I disagree with your take. I’ve found it extremely helpful in my life. I find using it and learning with it to be an enriching experience. I find following it’s development and seeing it grow to be exciting. I see the possibilities of all the positive things it could do for the future of humanity.
I don’t think a 10 year old could explain subatomic particles and the fundamental forces of the universe to me. I don’t think they could refresh my memory of how to do geometry to help my son with his homework. I don’t think a 10 year old could write a program for me to keep track of all the ebooks I have saved to my hard drive.
It’s fairly obvious what’s happening here. A bunch of people complaining about that newfangled thing they don’t understand or see the full potential of, just like for every new technology that has ever emerged. The automobile would never take off. Humans would never fly. TV was a fad. The Internet wouldn’t flourish. Rinse and repeat.
I find it odd that Lemmy users are so adverse to tech.

It’s not tech for techs sake, and it’s not exploitation.

I agree with the other user that it sounds like user error. Or perhaps you’ve not really used them at all, and just have joined the AI hate bandwagon.

You sound like an old man yelling about the TV. LLMs are NOT unhelpful. You’d know this if you actually used them.
In all of your replies, however, you fail to provide a single example. Are they writing code for you, or creating shitty art for you?

Please read the entire comment. Of course it can answer simple stuff. So can a google search. It’s overkill for simple shit.
I am opposed to shitty tech.
It’s not shitty tech.

LLMs are an implementation on the way to AGI.

Yeah it’s crazy how intense the Lemmy hive mind is about some things. It’s basically a cult
