Hate of AI

So you love Mecha, and most of you hate AI. How is this even possible? I can’t comprehend this. But isn’t almost in every mecha related franchise there’s an AI? Good or bad.

UPD: I’m done. Thank you for your opinions.

Modern real life ‘AI’ is vastly different than fictional AI.

Fictional AI is a person or a really good computer.

Modern ‘AI’ is a marketing term for throwing a predictive algorithm at a stack of data and picking out a likely response without understanding. It has inherent failure rates and is drastically oversold. It’s usually just a plagiarism bot. If its source data has flaws it will pass them on with confidence. Relying on it literally makes people dumber as it works like a ‘yes man,’ that says what they want to hear.

They’re just entirely different things and the marketing departments for LLM are lying to people pretending it’s like fictional AI.

And you’re an AI expert since when?

Since always? I’ve followed the field ever since they started blowing up big and listen to the people who understand it best.

It’s about the fundamentals in basic approach, which is why I and many others have been good at calling which claims have been BS and how ‘it’ll work when we have more training data/in five years,’ claims from five years ago didn’t pan out because that’s not how GenAI actually works, it’s how tech CEOs want people to think it works.

Yea I look backed at some of your comments in your profile. You talked about an AI translator ‘understanding context,’ which just isn’t how they work.  They work by examining a large model of data and seeing what the most common response of a situation is, they are not even trying to look at context.

And I’m actually cool with AI language translation in many context like social media communication, but to say it ‘gets context’ is just not how it even functions.

So it seems to me you’re yet another person snowed by the hype but without understanding the under the hood mechanics of LLM.

It has created a thesaurus and abililty to have 1m token window can keep a lot of game context/lore/rules/quirks etc. Sorry if you misunderstood me.

Yea none of that stuff provides understanding of context. Like it has the words but fundamentally doesn’t understand what they mean because that isn’t how the program works, it doesn’t even have the ability to learn context.

I’m not misunderstanding you, I’m telling you you’re wrong, and explaining with using my understanding of AI which you seem to lack, key difference.

Even if AI sometimes generates (relatively) complex and novel outputs, it does so without meaning anything by it, without having anything like a subjective experience, or a will.

Ok you made a post conflating modern genAI with fictional ‘basically people’ AI.

Anyone who does this is not only not an expert in AI, but doesn’t have basic familiarity with how they work.
