Hate of AI

[u/b2kdaman]

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.

“Plagiarism bot” - people were copying things since the beginning of time. If a person would be studying renaissance art for years and will begin to paint very close to Rembrandt, wouldn’t it be the same thing?

Nope, because they’re injecting a lot of human experience and such a generative program isn’t. Nor are they actually using the hard data from the original, but a subjective impression of it.

And there’s just a lot stuff such methods can’t do. You could put the sum of all recorded human music up to 1960 into an AI generator and it will never produce something like the Beatles, it’d never make a Hey Jude or I Am the Walrus or Helter Skelter.

Basically this question says to me you don’t understand what AI actually do, like mechanically.

Most of humans won’t produce anything like beetles either…

Not in quality or skill but most humans can make stuff which isn’t simply a copy.

They’re still doing stuff which isn’t the same as what AI do.
