See? I want this kind of AI. Not a word dreaming algorithm that spews misinformation
Read the article, it's still 'dreaming' and spewing garbage, it's just that in some iterations it's gotten lucky. "Human oversight needed" they say. The AI has no idea what it's doing.
Yeah I got that. But I still prefer "AI doing science under a scientist's supervision" over "average Joe can now make a deepfake and publish it for millions to see and believe"
I wonder how well it could work to use AI in developing an algorithm to generate chip designs. My annoyance with all of this stuff is how much people say, "Look! AI invented something new! It only took a few hours and 100x the resources!"
AI is mainly the capitalist dream of a drinking bird toy keeping a nuclear reactor online and paying a layman slave wages to make sure the bird does its job (obligatory "Simpsons did it").
Maybe, but remember generative AI isn't any kind of deductive or methodical reasoning. It's literally "mash up the publicly available info and give a crowd sourced version of what to add next". This works for art because this kind of random harmony appeals to us asthetically and art is an area where people seek fewer constraints. But when you're engineering it's the opposite. Maybe it's useful to get engineers out of a rut and imagine new possibilities. But that's it. Generative AI has no idea if what's it's smushed together is garbage or randomly insightful.
This is what most all ai is. Gpt models are a tiny subsect.
Subset
You are correct but I like subsect better.
I like the subtlety of it tbh.
You want AI that makes chips that run AI faster and better?
You've fallen into its trap!
Idk, kinda the same, but instead of misinformation we get ICs that release a cloud of smoke in a shape of a cat when presented with specific pattern of inputs (or smth equally batshit crazy)
