AI is generally only considered useful in professions people aren’t actually familiar with. AKA it isn’t in its current form to actual experts in anything.
“Generative AI is great at doing everything I suck at, but it’s completely terrible at the things I actually know!”
Too many people think that this and do not seem to understand that it is pretty shitty at everything. Well, except getting people to kill themselves, I guess. It’s pretty good at doing that.
Part of the probleem is how broad the term ai is, and how narrowly it is used. People just mean autoregressor llms and maybe diffusion models, while the term ai is much broader than even machine learning (for instance formal reasoning), which is again broader than backpropagation with gradient descent (for instance boosted trees) which is again broader than generative ai (for instance classifiers and deep learning). All of these are definitely useful in science and engineering and have been for decades, although llms are now beginning to find uses as well.
Cue the serial killer telling me that I don’t know what I’m talking about and that they could get people to kill themselves so much better and easier.
With the way AI companies seem to avoid liability for everything. Fantastic way of becoming a serial killer. Can we workshop some serial killer names?
ShotGPT? Anthraxic?
The silver lining for the AI companies is that there’s a lot of real humans getting real money that are also really shitty at what they are paid to do.
I was watching Ryan hall and his little AI bot the other day. It occasionally goes off the rails… Weird how he keeps trying though. Sometimes a bit entertaining, but if something I was using was malfunctioning that much I would not consider it a useful tool.
Coincidentally, Hollywood is pretty good at portraying every profession except the one I know!
