"The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates"

AI isn’t dangerous. It isn’t anything, really. What’s dangerous are the senior decision makers who think it is somehow magical and want to do everything with it.
#ai
Companies are adding #AI to their products and from a end-user perspective it's like watching toddlers smearing feces on the walls and then telling me I should pay extra to have them smear it all over my data too.
Thanks but no thanks.

Finally tried #OpenAI’s GPT-4o chatbot and asked it about my go-to LLM topic (my favorite #CahillConcialdi map projection). It gave a factually incorrect answer. 🤷

How #ai imagery is shaking photojournalism

Been thinking for a while about Facebook's AI Terms and Conditions switcheroo.
People all joined Facebook because they didn't want a public blog, especially one their boss might read. They wanted one only their friends could read.
And now Facebook are gonna just feed the whole lot into their mega-mind and let every advertiser and recruiter and boss you ever work for ask it about you.
There's no way to stop them coz they'll do it even if you object, even if it's illegal, even if they expect to get a giga-fine. I don't expect they really honour delete requests. Things sometimes pop back into existence eh?

It's honestly a mystery to me how anybody could assume #ChatGPT is a human.

The scenario of an #AI that applies deep logic and decides that the best thing would be to kill all humans seems more and more ridiculous.
The real danger is of course techbros convincing people to use AI in situations that are completely beyond the capabilities of the technology which means that AI getting control of nuclear weapons and accidentally killing everyone is still very much on th…
Search engines used to strive for precision over recall: the pages returned being relevant even if not all relevant pages were returned.
Ad-revenue tipped the scale to recall, eroding precision over time. "AI search" just lets them drop all pretense about precision.

If I were still managing a development team, I would outright ban #AI in planning meetings where folks should be talking and listening to each other.
I can imagine a future where folks are just typing prompts and regurgitating answers in meetings without thinking just to avoid saying the three most dreaded words of "I don't know”.

re: apple AI training data:
We train our foundation models on licensed data, including data selected to enhance specific features, as well as publicly available data collected by our web-crawler, AppleBot. Web publishers have the option to opt out of the use of their web content for Apple Intelligence training with a data usage control.

What I want, is an #AI that replaces my voicemail. Something that answers my phone, explains I'm not available, asks what the call is about and if I need to call back. And if so, to what number. Then writes it up as a nice message and send it to me. And if the caller only wishes to tell me something, the AI can pass it on.
I think we should be more concerned about trying to improve human intelligence than trying to sell artificial intelligence.

Same with this "Maven" thing today.
They want to make some kinda AI-edited personal-magazine. A narrow-focus news show, personalized for you by terra-flops of statistical correlations.
People do seem to like algorithmic feeds. Nobody can read everything, so some kinda summary or selector is inevitable.
But to do it, you gotta read everything.
That mega-mind is gonna be babbling to bosses and dates about every public word on the web whatever your privacy settings say.
These folks have "deleted" the data for now at least.
But that T&C's switcheroo is even easier if we never signed any T&Cs and they have implied consent because google made the precedent back in the 90s when they indexed the whole web.

the big promise of #AI is really the promise of a bigger project: intelligence maximization. and just focusing on creating new intelligence neglects the protection and fostering of existing intelligence.
so many human minds are destroyed in war, manufactured poverty and other idiotic "government projects".

Generative AI: Mid-as-service (Maas)
Whether it's text, images, or now music, there's a kinda quality to the output of generative models that gives me the queasy shivers.
Worryingly, good prompt craft can hide this to a point. But unless explicitly corralled out of statistical likelihood, it will tend toward the bland, the obvious, the mid.

Played around with GPT-4o analysing pictures and analysing the same picture with Google Gemini (I have to admit , the free version) , but the differences are enormous, the amount of hallucinations in Google Gemini is insane, making things up about the picture provided...how can Google be so far behind ?
