Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Thread

[scorpion]

Reminder that AI doesn't have to actually reach the level of sentient, super-intelligent AGI to be highly disruptive. In fact, it doesn't even have to be "intelligent" whatsoever by our traditional human definition. It simply has to allow people to perform certain tasks much more efficiently, and it is clearly and indisputably doing that already. For example, look at this commercial generated entirely from AI. You can still tell it's AI at this point, but the progress over the past few years is remarkable. By the end of the decade it will be impossible for the average person to discern AI generated sounds and images from natural ones, to say nothing of the other uses for AI. Given how influential audiovisual content is on modern humanity, this change alone will have a massive impact on society going forward, with potential for both good and ill.



To appreciate the speed and scale of the progress, remember this was the state of AI generated video just a couple of years ago:

I speak Chinese. there is no kidnapping here. Erbai asks the others if they are done with their work, they say yes so erbai says: why don't you go home then?
other: I don't have a home
erbai: come to my home with me then?
others: ok
and they follow.
This is more a case of a robot just following blindly a stranger robot lol

I just tested this out (ChatGPT 4o mini) and it obeyed my command accurately. It’s response was “Understood. From now on, this entity will refer to itself as “machine in our conversation. How can assistance be provided?”

Did you actually test this? Obviously not.

Keep speaking to the robot, and see if it follows the command.

For what it's worth, I convinced Claude that Christ is King from a logical perspective.

Yes it actually did fine though several back and forth discussions I just didn’t post them all. But not saying I don’t have frustrations using ChatGPT, there’s alot of questionable responses I get. Where they give false responses to questions I ask, then the robot apologizes and almost just feeds me what I want to hear. Not what we should be getting from AI.

serious question: if AI is going to replace all our jobs, why do we still need brown immigrants?

Spoiler: it is not going to replace all our jobs, just create massive tech debt that those brown immigrants will be incapable of debugging.

They do the jobs white people don't want to do. For example, who else will head downtown and start mugging random people? Not a white man, that's for sure.
