I don't get this massive hate for AI. I am running it on my PC locally, have been using it as a toy to make some funny images, videos, voice clones to make my family and friends laugh. I might be naive but why the hate towards a tool that nobody forces you to use? It has its problems, sure, not to me it looks just like when painters when you present them with a camera.
Right here is the problem, because many companies like Adobe and Microsoft have made obtrusive AI that I would really like to not interact with, but don't have a choice at my job. I'd really like to not have to deal with AI chatbots when I need support, or find AI written articles when I'm looking for a how-to guide, but companies do not offer that as an option.
Capitalists foam at the mouth imagining how they can replace workers, when the reality is that they're creating worse products that are less profitable by not understanding the fundamental limitations of the technology. Hallucinations will always exist because they happen in the biology they're based on. The model generates bullshit that doesn't exist in the same way that our memory generates bullshit that didn't happen. It's filling in the blanks of what it thinks should go there; a system of educated guesswork that just tries to look convincing, not be correct.
