| Ryuu96 said: I feel like I'm debating with a bunch of people who have stock in AI companies or a vested interest in marketing it, Lol. I know you don't, but that's what it feels like, not once have I said that AI will crash and burn into nothing, I have repeatedly said I take a more middle-ground approach, what I take issue with is the extreme levels of overhype that Microsoft/OpenAI place on AI and especially Sam Altman who has said some utterly fucking delusional shit lately, but it seems it is only okay to take an extreme stance if that extreme stance is "positive" towards AI changing the world and bringing us a AI utopia where Microsoft is going to make hundreds of billions of dollars, Lol. And as for AGI, I can see very clearly that AI isn't anywhere close to AGI still and it's an impossible stance to argue against "You don't know because you aren't in the field and don't know what ultra mega secrets they're hiding" Lol. By that logic I can't argue against anything because anything can just be said they're hiding secrets that we don't know about. But lets come back to this conversation in 5 years time when we still don't have AGI (unless the goalposts are moved) and Microsoft is still spending tens of billions and making no profits on AI. Unless there's a sudden massive technological leap and for folks who say we have made massive advancements, AI isn't a new thing, it has been around for 40+ years, Lol. ChatGPT and CoPilot are two other things heavily pushed by Microsoft, ChatGPT makes no money and nobody gives a fuck about CoPilot. AI code is poor for anything complex, it can't replace creatives and it has already practically skimmed the entirety of the internet, there is no more data for it to rip off and trying to teach AI any higher isn't producing much. I'm not sure where this magical AI replacing everyone to perfect results is going to come from when there's not much left for them to learn from. I've seen plenty of developers who actually use AI make the claims that it is very stupid when it comes to complex tasks. But I'll move on and we'll come back to this conversation in a few years from now because I've been hearing about AI being the next step in human evolution and bringing a Utopia and making everyone billions for years now so I can wait another few years, Lol. Just don't know why my middle-ground stance is receiving so much pushback and people rushing in to defend Microsoft and OpenAI's stances, not like I ever said AI will amount to nothing, Lol. Just don't think the future is as extremely "beneficial" as Microsoft and OpenAI hope it will be. Some of you sounding like you have stock in Microsoft NGL, Lol. |
You are correct in a lot of ways. That's why the next Step MS is taking is using the AI chips in all future PC hardware and gathering the data-workflows of all employees across the world. They will use this data to further train their AI and replace workers. They are just getting started believe me.
