Why is /g/ so one-shotted by the 100% fallacy that they can't see the usefulness of AI?

Because it's not 100% perfect, AI is completely useless.

Are you all just so terrified of AI taking your jobs that you're stuck in a state of delusion, wishful thinking, and desperation?

It has its use cases, like any tool. The issue is brainlets who understand nothing, especially technology, thinking it's "le greatest thing every reddit!!1" because it can spew out conversational averages and get trained by the absolute worst people to do the worst things. The only people I see creaming their pants over it are the absolute dumbest midwits thinking they can replace all their writers with pens to save money, and jeets and jeet-adjacents because they can ERP with their spyware, generate anime boob pic #8475857474 and get java tutorials on something that does nothing but say "you're absolutely right!" no matter what dumb shit they tell it. Someone said that if you wouldn't trust a trained pigeon to do perform a task, you shouldn't trust "AI" to do it either, and it's not a bad metric. Either you're stupid and ignorant, a shill, a bot, or some combination.

>>107826402
The technology board is the perfect place to hate on a technology. There's an active AI gen thread on any given board, often more than one. Fucking ponies got their own, so I think something this persistently widespread should at least be considered for consolidation.

>Are you all just so terrified of AI taking your jobs that you're stuck in a state of delusion, wishful thinking, and desperation?
That nails it. People who hate AI based their value to society on their ability to endure tedium and create makework. AI threatens to eliminate that shit.
>>
The big problem with ai is that it signals the end of humanity. Big companies will replace as much human labor as possible with ai, creating an economic authoritarianism that the average person can't escape from. A lot of people are hoping for a post scarcity world, but do you honestly think big corporations would just give stuff away to the masses? Even if they did, make sure not to miss your corporate overlords off or else your weekly food rations will be cut. And there'll be no way out of that position because ai has taken all avalible jobs.

There's also the fact that vast majority of young people are exporting their critical thinking to ai chat bots. Bad shit happens when people rely on technology for everything. If it can fail it will fail. The same could be said of humans. We are fallable, but we don't have a moral, rational, or legal framework to hold sufficiently smart technology accountable for it's mistakes.

Looking at the future of ai is looking at the end of human supremacy. Humans cannot be replaced by unfeeling machines who adhere to our human morals through great manipulation of programming.

the people who control the money are not very intelligent and don't understand the technical details of their investments.
what they do understand is the building of bubbles and the printing of money.
we on the sidelines who suffer from their madness should not expect any of the technologies that fuel their bubbles to change the world in the way they promise. its all bullshit

things will continue to get worse, bubbles will be created and then popped without end until the system is no longer capable of withstanding the shocks and the whole breaks.

AI will never not need humans, because pleasing humans is its only purpose. They've tried training AI on its own generated data, and it quickly degenerates to nonsense.

This is not a "more compute" problem. It's a fundamental limitation of AI, and it's obvious if you think about it.

AI will be good at repetitive tasks, but just with more variance. It cannot code without a high degree of input (regardless of what AI CEOs might tell you), and it will probably not be able to do other tasks any time soon.

Think about driving, with its fixed set of well defined rules and how long it took to finally get a self-driving car.

If you think it's going to genuinely replace human creativity, I think we're a long way away from that.


>>107826538
>he absurd amount of capital being thrown at ai vs how that money could be spent to effectively end a wide variety of ills
That's not how capital works. Capital goes where it has the best chance of turning into more capital. It's not like the money designated to feed orphans got rerouted to Sam Altman. If the investment opportunity had not appeared, the money would not exist.

If world hunger could be solved by throwing money at it, it would've been solved a long time ago.

i am not that anon but imagine you have a government and it could either produce bullets locally or import bullets for a 15% discount.
It makes sense from a capitalist perspective to import the bullets but it makes sense from a national security perspective to produce them locally. being dependent on an outside party for a crucial defense item is a weakness that can be exploited.

my point is spending money in a way that maximizes return is not always the best decision.
building bubbles might enrich the individual players but it also from a national perspective weaken the nation

my nephew bought a bunch of public car chargers from a company that closed. he wanted to hack in to them and make them so anyone could use them.

the first thing he did was got to chagpt. he sent me the whole conversation when it started telling him things he was not familiar with.

the gist of it was that he should use an open vehicle charger device. it also spent a huge amount of time with instructions on how to try and get in to the 4g cellular wifi router.

to shorten this as much as I can. before reading the transcript I did my own research. independently found the same open charger. found the instructions for the 4g router, but I also found the information on the main controller board.

hacking the 46 router was pointless and not necessary.

the main controller board had some safeguards where it would not even respond to attempts to do anything or login for about 10 minutes after power up.

but the real kicker was that the open EVC that it kept pushing on him to solve the problem would have solved the problem by taking the power cord, and charging cable, connecting that to the open evc and chucking everything else. while technically correct it was not the solution that fit the original constraints presented to it.

getting the charger working for as little money as possible.

I could go on, but as I said, if you literally think it offers no value, I don't think you're capable of being convinced, no matter what evidence is presented to you. you'll come up with some other excuse.

Btw, I didn't barely even looked at the code for all of that, it pretty much one-shot everything. Yes, it's spaghetti, but I don't care, it's not a professional product.

We have tons of things it's used for at my work too, like a conversational AI that people can call in notes when they're in the field, and all kinds of stuff.

Did you know that this is not 100% true, only 90% true. Carefully selected and prompted synthetic data that has been tested to be correct is the best training data there is, however it’s not as easy to get in large quantities. However if it becomes smarter then humans then it could just make it on its own and filter it through real world interactions, kinda like how civilisation developed.
> because pleasing humans is its only purpose.
I agree, we gave it purpose and can add reward feedback loops that reward it for pleasing us. Even if we avoid some minmaxxing sci-if version of monkey paw like turning humans into lobotomised chunks of brains in jars optimised to feel nothing but drugged pleasure you still run into the fact that the people developing it have no use for you, so while it could just please humans forever, who decides which humans. Earth has limited resources and our 8 billion population is already straining it, so there will have to be eventually a trade off between bigger luxury and pleasure or lower standards of living but without killing billions of people.

>>107829377
Interesting, however if you look at what’s happening it’s not really helping your case. The country with most solar production and deployment is China, country that does not have many datacenters, they instead use that energy to build more solar panels quicker, and currently have had the first year of decline in emissions. US on the other hand is building natural gas power plants because they can’t produce enough of those cheap solar panels, because just because they are cheap does not mean you can build lot of them easily, things cost materials to build, different materials, not just pouring money into it and magically making it happen. So every bit of energy wasted is bad and not helping.
>>107829377
It is using up lot of electricity and using up drinking clean water, because dirty water or salt water would cause buildup of salt and minerals clogging the system. And when you use clean water you eventually evaporate it and then it rains down (mostly into sea) and goes to become dirty water again requiring more treatment, not to mention that if you are using more water then rains down, you will have to eventually start pumping water from lakes and underground, at which point you are actually using up water that will not return to the lake or ground unless you start consuming less then it rains again.

Not the problem
The problem is the tech industry already produces 99% useless shit that nobody wants or needs but winds up using for a variety of involuntary reasons. AI can produce the same useless shit, which means we'll see a 100x increase in how much shitty tech we're forced to use. It's making the world worse because tech in general makes the world worse.
I'm not a "luddite": show me an AI that can ensure shitty tech products will die and useful tech will thrive and I'll happily admit AI might improve the world.
