I can't wait for the AI bubble to burst, it's like every company out there is just pumping out "AI" bullshit that nobody asked for and nobody wants
Only the techbro shills, the executive class, and a few people who don’t know or care how the sausage is made want AI Bullshit. I want this AI bubble to not only burst, but also burn every techbro and make them shut up. Real AI is going to be a multi-discipline and multigenerational project that will take a lot of time and research to reify. This gassed up LLM bullshit is not it!
Think of it what you will, compared to crypto there’s actually value that people are getting from LLMs. Even with its current shortcomings.
If techbros weren’t trying to conflate LLMs with AI, I’d mostly have no issue with them. Still have concerns with the lack of security first and dubious means that are being implemented to gather data. LLMs are a useful spelling and grammar checking tool, so there are practical uses for them.
I wouldn’t yet use them for any other purpose until truly ethical practices are implemented. Also, the weird generative quirks are smoothed out.
There’s definitely tons of issues surrounding LLMs: how they’re created, what they spit out, and the impact they have. But there’s also use cases that go beyond grammar check imo, but everyone can figure that out for themselves.
I‘ve mostly given up on complaining about "AI" as a description, that’s just what we’re calling it now even though it never made any sense.
As LLMs haven't been able to pass a Turing Test, I can't quite let the 'AI' descriptor go unchallenged. It doesn't sit right with me; I'm not comfortable with the intentional dishonesty that conflating LLMs with AI. However, I do understand your exhaustion with trying to correct that mistake.
As for the usage beyond spellchecking and grammar checking; it is up to an individual if they want to make more usage of it despite the ethical, privacy, and security concerns surrounding LLMs. I made my choice due to this, even that makes me feel occasionally uneasy. Making a decision with all the information is far better than falling for the hype surrounding LLMs at the moment.
