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
https://www.blind-magazine.com/stories/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?

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.

Search engines used to strive for precision over recall: the pages returned being relevant even if not all relevant pages were returned.

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.

I think this is why I’ve not found pseudo-#AI #LLM chatbots at all interesting. It's bad enough that I have to deal with people being all peopley. Software shouldn't be like that. I find the ‘prompt engineering' one does IRL to be tiring and that's part of why I work with computers.

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.
