No, and I’m tired of hearing legitimate and important criticisms of LLMs and the whole AI industry start with “There are things AI is good for but…”
There is so much wrong with this technology, how it was created, how it’s being pushed, how it’s being funded, how it affects us, and all of the necessary discussion is being pre-emptively watered down by this prevarication of critics, just to pander to the AI-brained robot-fuckers that can’t bear to hear that their favourite toy that allows them to role-play as being competent is just a piece of abusive shit designed to make us stupider and trap us in an endless dependency on the new oligarchs’ expensive infrastructure while giving them a convenient scapegoat for all of their malicious acts, propaganda and history rewriting.
There is nothing that LLMs are good for, and every time you make excuses for it, you’re tightening the noose around your own neck, and all of the people that come after us.
@eleijeep a large chunk of the “AI” industry has nothing to do with LLMs, which is one of the ways they’re marketing LLMs. If you accept and propagate their framing then you’re doing their work.
Going by market-cap, you’re wrong, and also there’s a reason that I focussed on LLMs in my comment and that’s because I know that machine learning in general has lots of practical uses. This criticism was about LLMs and the current state of the AI industry.
