I remain deeply skeptical.

Either way, it uses a ridiculous amount of power and comes at great environmental cost.

Fuck me, you and people in general jump to conclusions so easily. My post was meant to educate, to shore up knowledge. To help out.

In no way was I saying “AI is good and the tech bros are right about it.” 🤦‍♂️

I never took what you wrote to mean that, but I am deeply skeptical that they can successfully elminiate hallucinations to the point that "AI" can be trusted to given correct results.

[–] Analog@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Why bring up power and environmental cost? What did that have to do with anything?

Also if you’ll re-read what I wrote I used careful language to indicate I didn’t think this method would completely eliminate errors. Nevermind bridge the gap to “trusted.” (🤮 I will never trust AI.)

(Yeah I know the YouTuber used a sensational title; in their defense they kind of have to in order to get clicks. imho blame the algorithm and people’s reinforcement of that algorithm.)

Why wouldn't I? It's pretty fucking important! Why would you take exception to that? I also think it's weird you assumed what conclusion I was jumping to.

[–] Analog@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

I didn’t have to assume anything. You stated it outright. I didn’t bring up a straw man argument.
