The upshot: these AI summaries were so bad that the assessors agreed that using them could require more work down the line, because of the amount of fact-checking they require. If that’s the case, then the purported upsides of using the technology — cost-cutting and time-saving — are seriously called into question.
Well said. This is all so new, we’re still figuring out the implications of how to grapple with it.
I do think people here have a tendency to just hate all of it out of hand, which I get to some extent. The last thing we want is Elon to have terminators or something, haha.
We went from “it can’t even draw hands!!!” last year to “they’ll just use it for porn!!!” now, ignoring the fact that it can render pretty amazing looking videos in such a short time span.

Yeah the hype cycle is certainly annoying. As is the accompanying fire/re-hire at lower pay cycle that follows any automation.

I actually think the generative aspect of neural networks is the least interesting/useful/innovative/etc. Though it will admittedly be more interesting when an LLM can say, use blender to make a video rather than just wholesale generating it. Or at least generate the files/3d models necessary to have it be edited by a person just like they would anything else. I suspect there will have to be a pretty significant architecture change for them to be able to make convincing/coherent movie-length videos.
Chaotic system control, like they’re doing with nuclear fusion plasma is the most interesting, to me anyway.
