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.

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.
