Well, as it happens I just released a video about so-called AI that I've been planning for several months now. But new info kept coming out, so I kept modifying the script and delaying it.
The thing is, there's something about this AI that has bothered me for a long time. I played with it last year, and I wasn't impressed.
In the past month+, I've noticed all kinds of articles talking about the "bad side" of it - specifically how everyone seems to be looking at it going, "This is garbage... it makes no sense!" and that was my initial reaction to it way back when.
I was very strongly reminded of the sheer hype surrounding The Internet of Things that never actually manifested. Or the crypto/blockchain 'this changes everything' hype that sort of just fizzled out overnight. One minute, 'they' were creating vast new digital economic realities, and the next it was like cryptos and blockchains were old news - case closed, move along, nothing to see here...
But I kept thinking that people I know were using ChatGPT or whatever, so maybe it's good for
certain things. And really, it does seem to be useful in certain ways - depending on which LLM (large language model) you use and especially
how you use it.
Fast forward to today, and it just so happens that the stock market recently dropped. One of the big reasons given by analysts etc. is that tech companies are heavily invested in AI, and it's really not looking like it's "going anywhere" anytime soon.
Of course, there are also many other obvious reasons why the economy (esp. in the West) is in tatters.
And there's also the "woke" invasion of literally everything.
So, I dunno... I kinda feel like Laura in that there's something "wrong" with the whole thing. Even Russia and China are getting in on the AI Action, yet I'm not aware that they're all using AI in the same way that we in the West are - mostly becuz it's being crammed down our throats every chance they get.
So I have to wonder if a large part of the problem is simply WHO is pushing AI and implementing it. IOW, would LLMs like ChatGPT have been far more useful if mostly "libtards and bad guys" had NOT been in charge of creating, managing, and pushing them to a large extent?
And finally, it's worth noting I think that, IMO, even the name "AI" does not -
in any way - describe ChatGPT or any other LLM-type tool. They are all definitely artificial but not intelligent, and none of them are what I would call actual 'artificial intelligence'... But that doesn't mean it's not coming.
Maybe that's part of the whole problem: getting people to buy the lie that this IS real AI just for control, profit, and the usual motives?
Anyway, here's the vid:
