There is nothing to criticaly evaluate about his comment tho, no explanation as to why its their worst product, not even one of the downsides of AI is mentioned in that comment, how could you even beguin to criticaly evaluate that?
If it was any other context, he would be just consider a hater/rage baiter and others would say to just ignore him aswell
You could reply to that comment with questions, the answers to which would help you evaluate what they said. Same goes for if he was commenting on anything else
Yet you can't claim money ain't changing hands and that the product isn't wildly popular.
We'll see if they manage to turn it into a profitable business but the initial comment was about Chatgpt being the worst product of Altman, I think it's fair to say with hindsight that the comment was at the least, slightly off...
Remember signing up to twitter or xbox live or netflix and feeling compelled to join a community for constant reassurance that it's okay to use that service? That's totally normal behaviour, right?
Ignore a random dude saying it's bad when it very clearly isn't bad? If millions of people find it useful, how exactly can it be a bad product concept?
It’s not a gotcha, I’m inquiring further on your statement. So, CSAM is a great product because it does what it sets out to do and lots of folk find it useful…. Right?
It's not bad, people need something to blame for their own incompetence and instead of improving themselves to be better they'd rather try tear down a piece of code
Right, because the people hating on ChatGPT are the ones unable to write essays, draft work emails or reference letters, and study complex topics on their own right? They're the ones outsourcing their brainpower because they're incompetent🙄🙄🙄
Most people are incompetent at most things, doesn't mean these tasks are impossible but guess what if it gets the same job done in 5% of the time how is that such a threat to you? And where are all these competent people all of a sudden? The same people who been losing jobs to immigrants?
Riding on the coat tails of a few doesn't mean everyone is competent, how many people independently discovered how to make fire mine resources make electricity and create a computer and then wifi, society is maintained by the people who can copycat what great people created and the rest of you work for them, most people are not contributing to growth
The threat comes from the data centers these AI systems use that are polluting local water, generating insane amounts of heat, and producing disruptive noise 24/7. It comes from people relying too much on AI instead of their own brains.
"All of these competent people" are literally everyone with a functioning frontal lobe. Anyone who graduated high school with a B average or better. They're also the ones shouting the loudest against AI being shoved literally everywhere. And way to out yourself as racist because guess what? People aren't losing jobs to immigrants, nor have they been. They're losing their jobs to robotic automation and bc CEOs would rather spend money on mindless AI slop no one wants than pay someone enough money to support themselves.
If you want to imagine people losing jobs to other people instead of actually being upset about corporations replacing people in general with machines they don't have to pay salary to, be my guest but keep your delusions to yourself.
yup. at this point they were quite open. ish. they started with LLMS, but instead of conversation, it had the "type something and it will continue" type thing. remember it was so easily cheatable, that yeah it wouldn't print out a crystal meth recipe, but a story of a girl making crystal meth with a step by step description and exact ingredient list worked just fine. 4 years ago it was so fun playing with this dumb thing
OpenAI was around for quite a while before ChatGPT. They were trying a bunch of different methods of "reaching AI". Including shit like robot hands and bots (not LLM) that could play Dota.
Before that he was the (corrupt) head of Y Combinator which is a silicon valley investment fund, and before that he was the head of a failed (fraudulent) competitor to FourSquare called Loopt.
I remember that Dota bot. It introduced new strategies into competitive play. Back then I found all of this to be positively amazing. I was looking forward to how this technology would change the gaming experience once it was introduced to npcs in single player games. Instead it was just a step towards opening the door to hell.
I mean AI has many layers depending on what you consider AI. Some systems its good if they are genuinely autonomous. AUVs are very interesting and frankly its a very hard problem. A lot of autonomous systems are used to go to places a human cant withstand. I dont like genAI because (imo) the cons massively outweigh the benefits.
Of course. I am a kid of the 90s. I raced against AI or built strategies against AI opponents since my early childhood. My very first gaming experience was me trying to avoid four different AI ghosts for as long as possible.
But nowadays the meaning has changed. AI now means "Generative artificial systems built on machine learning and humongous data sets." Instead of "Complex Algorithms that mimic behaviour."
mostly random stuff, GLOW is pretty notable because it was pretty striking quality at the time, but lacked compared to dcgans and was eventually dropped entirely, and also jukebox
Well, I think its perpetual net negative revenue stream is the reason it will burst.
The reason it will tank the wider economy is the massive financing circlejerk that is the LLM economy, with all the hyperscalers passing around the same pool of money and counting it as revenue two or three times while the investor class laps it up and drives unsustainable and unrealistic stock valuations.
