What companies are you people working for?
We are being asked not to use AI.
Ain’t gotta use it to sell it or slap AI stickers on top of whatever products you’re selling
Pretty much this. Just another buzzword. Three months from now it will be something else the media doesn’t understand to spam the public with.
I’m predicting … rubs crystal ball and nipples … it’s going to be some king of cybernetic brain interface thing. Haven’t heard about those in a while. Or maybe nano bots that kill cancer or fix the paint scratches on your car.
I’m rooting for the “on-my-face” computer to come back. Fashion be damned, I still want one.
Google Bard, everyone.
It’s sad to see it spit out text from the training set without the actual knowledge of date and time. Like it would be more awesome if it could call time.Now(), but it 'll be a different story.
if you ask it today’s date, it actually does that.
It just doesn’t have any actual knowledge of what it’s saying. I asked it a programming question as well, and each time it would make up a class that doesn’t exist, I’d tell it it doesn’t exist, and it would go “You are correct, that class was deprecated in {old version}”. It wasn’t. I checked. It knows what the excuses look like in the training data, and just apes them.
It spouts convincing sounding bullshit and hopes you don’t call it out. It’s actually surprisingly human in that regard.
They are mostly large language models , I have trained few smaller models myself, they generally splurt out next word depending on the last word , another thing they are incapable of, is spontaneous generation, they heavily depend on the question , or a preceding string ! But most companies are portraying it as AGI , already !

Oh great, Silicon Valley’s AI is just an overconfident intern!
It’s super weird that it would attempt to give a time duration at all, and then get it wrong.
Bard is kind of trash though. GPT-4 tends to so much better in my experience.
If you take out the AI part it still holds true. 2023 is full of bullshit.
Snapchat AI. My friends don’t want it, they can’t block it, and it is proven to lie about certain things, like asking if it has one’s location.
Before this is was blockchain, and before that it was “AI”, and before that…
I live in Silicon Valley, and there’s a billboard along highway 101 near San Francisco that’s an ad for “BlockChat”, a “Web3 messenger” that uses the blockchain instead of a server. I went to Google Play to look at the app and it’s only had 10k downloads total. I really don’t understand how blockchain would help with messaging, and there’s a bunch of limitations (eg you can never delete messages). People just trying to shoehorn AI and blockchain into everything.
Before that self driving cars, before that “Big data”, before that 3D printing, before that internet TV, before that “cloud computing”, before that web 2.0, before that WAP maybe, internet in general?
Some of those things did turn out to be game changers, others not at all or not so much. It’s hard to predict the future.
