Now a days people refer to AI instantly for an answer. Maybe it’s a problem they could have solved within 10min in their head or a question they could have done an internet search on and read a few forums to figure out. However, now people go straight to AI which is known to give many many wrong answers.
I know a couple people that fit this bill and now I almost completely disregard what they say. We’ll even be talking face to face and they’ll ask AI something from our conversation in real time.
Fucking this!
I’m getting a CS degree now and even though the math still eludes me quite a bit, just understanding that LLMs are essentially a bunch of Linear Algebra and Matrix Multiplication calculations to weight a series of vector scored words to approximate desired output demystifies the whole thing and makes me very angry that this is what is being sold as the next big thing.
It’s not. It’s an impressive milestone in Reinforcement Learning achieved in 2017. The use cases and prevalence of “AI” has less to do with it being an impressive piece of tech, and more a reflection of the failures of humans, specifically humans in the tech sector.
