    I mean, regardless of the speculative bubble, some people think AI is dumb as a rock when it’s not really. Maybe three or four years ago it was, but the gradual improvement is clear as day. This is clearly better than the bots that write webpages before the advent of AI. Although, I still would not trust AI to do more complex tasks in my workplace.

    Whether they admit it or not, I just think those who are staunchly anti-AI are averse to the new, and/or thinking that their first experience with the first model of a technology, which tends to be bad, is end-all-be-all. I certainly remember when I thought Bluetooth headphones won’t ever improve, because the first models sold had bad connectivity.

      It is dumb as a rock, but as long as the solution you need is the one statistically significant in its dataset, it’ll work for you. But too many people expect it to think for them.

        But too many people expect it to think for them.

        I guess so. People tend to overestimate technological progress.

        To maximise the full use of the latest models of AI, one has to recognise the limitations. I learned that it is like a child in which you have to give it specific instructions to do exactly as you want it to do. But, don’t expect it to do more complex tasks because it’s not there yet. It’s a literal child.

        Dumb as a rock and outright fucking lies sooooo much! Hahahha

        Maybe it is human? Lol

        I was talking with a coworker Friday laughing at the absurd confidence which it lies and you show it receipts and it responds “oh yes you’re right I was excluding that in my response” like fuck off lol
