I think that today some people live in an internet bubble reinforcing each other’s ideas without anyone saying “maybe you are exaggerating”. It’s true in general, not just for AI. When I talk with RL friends who are not such “internet nerds” as me, their views are much less black and white than mine… and I’m not remotely as black and white as some people here.
Back in topic, would you be that negative if AI’s issues were addressed and solved? Because they will be addressed and solved. It’s a basic business need to minimise costs (energy, water) and solve legal disputes (copyright).
The issues with LLMs will never be solved. The environmental damage and copyright issues will persist as long as capitalism does. And those aren't even my main issues. These fucking things are marketed as thinking machines that can reason and help people work through problems, but they are fundamentally incapable of that. They hallucinate and spout nonsense and it's not a matter of "oh, just train them better, they'll eventually be worth using", there are fundamental mathematical reasons that these things spout so much nonsense, and no amount of high quality training data will ever fix it.
If you say so.
