Yes, that was literally my point. A plumbing wrench is a perfectly useful and wonderful tool, but it isn't going to be much help in the middle of brain surgery. Tools have use cases; they can't be applied to any situation

It's really simple: There are a number of use cases where generative AI is a legitimate boon. But there are countless more use cases where AI is unnecessary and provides nothing but bloat, maybe novelty at best.

Generative AI is neither the harbinger or doom, nor the savior of humanity. It's a tool. Just a tool. We're just caught in this weird moment where people are acting like it's an all-encompassing multipurpose tool right now instead of understanding it as the limited use specific tool it actually is.

I'm sure plenty of others join me in the sentiment of thinking "Who the fuck are you to restrict MY free content that I contributed?"

God, fuck reddit so fucking hard

Honestly not gonna lie, I wish Hitler was a even weaker candidate than he is today.

Which is interesting, because the point of the phrase is to imply something is so commonplace that it practically has no value. It's so commonplace you can get a dozen of them for a dime!

So technically while the relative value of the dime in this phrase decreases, the relative value of the phrase itself increases as the dime's value ever further approaches negligible, ever better emphasizing the point!

Words are fun.

We ain't a monolith bro, and you don't speak for me

I see your point and I agree, except that that isn't what these headlines are saying. Granted, perhaps that's just the standard issue of sensationalism and clickbait rather than being specific to this issue, but the point remains that while the articles may be as you claim, the headlines are still presented instead as "A chainsaw can't even drive a simple nail into wood without issue and that's why you should be angry anytime you hear a chainsaw." I dunno. I'm just so exhausted.

Anyone else tired of these clickbait headlines and studies about LLM which center around fundamental misunderstandings of how LLMs work, or is it just me?

"ChatGPT didn't get a single answer on my algebra exam correct!!" Well yes, because LLMs work on predictive generation, not traditional calculation, so of course they're not going to do math or anything else with non-language-based patterns properly. That's what a calculator is for.

All of these articles are like complaining that a chainsaw is an inefficient tool for driving nails into wood. Yeah; because that's not the job this tool was made for.

And it's so stupid because there are ton of legitimate criticisms about AI and the AI rollout to be had; we don't have to look for disingenuous cases of misuse for critique.

Meanwhile I have 3000+ hours in Civ6...

Why are the animal’s choices never considered in this equation?

Sapience vs sentience. Hope that helps your understanding!

You, my friend, are 100% correct in your take on the topic.

Boring pop culture opinions that nobody actually likes but which wear the cadence of interesting content so people unthinkingly clap along out of habit even though nobody is actually edified by it or sincerely enjoying it.
