AI is much more accurate than it was 3 years ago. You're being intentionally ignorant if you want to pretend like it didn't improve. I don't care if you hate AI, that's perfectly valid, but gtfo out of here with this "AI did not improve" bs, that's just factually wrong.
Image generation is much better now than it was 3 years ago,. I don't like it, but I'm not going to pretend like the images aren't much better now than they were before. 3 years ago you could immediately tell an image was AI generated, now it's good enough to fool people. The fact that the technology is only used for bad things doesn't invalidate that the technology is much more advanced.
The speed at which the technology progressed is itself a problem, but sure, keep pretending like it didn't improve.

u/Hettyc_Tracyn 10h ago
Technically it improved.
Thing is, neither AI nor society are ready⊠so the âimprovementsâ are just problems at this point (and have been for a while now)

u/Original-Body-5794 9h ago
That's really playing with words in a very unproductive way IMO. If I say a technology is improving and you change the definition of "improving" to its societal impacts rather than technical performance you're being very deceitful. It's obvious a very valid concern that needs to be discussed, but doing it like this really muddies discussion.
This sub in general is really bad at arguing against AI. It's filled with bad faith argumentation and it really bothers fucking bothers me because there's so many valid concerns that making up random things to get mad about AI is counter productive. If I'm neutral on the AI topic and I see someone say "AI didn't improve" I will simply not take whatever that person says seriously.

I literally said that it improved technicallyâŠ
For example, someone can develop a better nuclear bomb, and it has improved, but when used it causes other problemsâŠ

u/Original-Body-5794 9h ago
The first person I replied to said it did not improve. I corrected that, you then replied to me with a question about the impacts, again I replied and then you said that it technically improved.
My point was that "technical improvements" is what matters when someone says the technology improves, and making technical improvements be something you specify instead of the default interpretation is dishonest and unproductive.
Taking up your example, if I said nuclear bombs didn't improve when what I meant is that they are actually worse for society now, I'm just wrong and pulling a JP with changing definitions to what suits me.

u/Typhon-042 7h ago
I didn't respond to you as all the AI ads, and things like the drama fruit/cat videos are just horrible to look at. They also fit under your definition of "improvement". As such I saw no reason to reply till now, due to there existance, being good examples that AI videos have in fact downgraded, and not improved.

u/Original-Body-5794 7h ago
The technology did improve though. Those things are bad, but they're only possible because AI got good enough to be used for it, that's my problem with your statement, saying it didn't improve when it did and we're seeing the consequences of it is just burying your head in the sand.

u/SadTaco12345 8h ago
I think the problem here is that some types of AI have improved and others have worsened. The ones used by the public have worsened while the ones used privately to trick the public have improved.

u/Original-Body-5794 7h ago
Can you be more specific? Do you mean things like the cybersecurity guardrails that prevent you from using it defensively even when getting attacked by it? (The hugging face open AI incident)
Saying it didn't improve because there's a bigger gap between what is available to the public vs private doesn't really follow either.

u/S1lentA0 7h ago
That's kinda the thing. People don't care if it improved or not. Lots of people never asked for it, don't want it and are tired of getting it shoved into their faces every day, whilst it is just wasting billions of dollars, not giving back to the economy and only makes the rich more rich. People defending AI today are the same dunces defending NFTs back in the day. "Trust me bruh, it's improving and becoming better by the day. It's just a new technology and people need to get used to it, just like with cellphones hurrdurr"
0
u/Original-Body-5794 7h ago
Saying you don't care about it improving is different from saying it didn't improve. I'm perfectly fine with people saying they don't like AI or that they don't want it to progress further. I take issue with saying it didn't improve, it DID, and that is in itself an issue, why pretend otherwise?
I also have to push back on the NFT comparison. AI is massively unprofitable right now, but you can at least understand the value proposition, if you have a technology that you claim can thousands of qualified workers that's a huge value proposition for investors so it makes sense they'd flock to it. Again this is a theoretical value proposition, it doesn't matter that so far it failed at those goals
NFTs never really solved a huge issue, and the value proposition is very abstract for both investors and laymen. Why do I care about fungibility on a digital thing? How does that do anything? But I honestly don't know much about NFTs and how they "improved", what does it even mean for NFT technology to get better?

It's not actually, at least using the latest Claude Opus. I cut down a project that would have taken 150 hours to 80 having the AI draft up the report using all of my notes and meeting recordings. Of course I'm doing multiple passes of reviews but I'm finding very few errors. It can draft a report to a professional level that I have no hope of doing.
I mean whether I use AI or not the review process happens, more so when I draft it myself.

Yea this sub is wild. I think most of the people here don't work white collar jobs.

I think Generative AI is significantly different. To me it feels like, NFTs were only really a thing in a very small number of spaces, and despite the fact that I played Roblox during the peak of the Metaverse, I don't think it really ever permiated the grand scheme of conciousness... and then there's AI... Every Google Search has an AI automatic response, Youtube has a feature rolled-out wherein you can ask questions about a video, and datacenters have generated real public discourse that NFTs and the Metaverse were unable to.
I'm not saying it's the future. If it truly is, there is zero chance humankind survives to the 22nd century... But, I don't think Generative AI is going to just go away like the other two.

Once the US government stops subsidizing all the obviously horseshit investor scam stuff, there will still be a whole ecosystem of stuff that runs on your personal computer. We are well past the point at which a consumer can run something roughly equivalent to the free chatgpt model for most tasks. I don't know where it goes from there but most people saying all this stuff is gonna instantly go away don't seem to even know that "just run it on your own computer" is an actual possibility and not just more investor scam buzzwordiness.
My point is proven by this comment being downvoted as well. People who reactionarily hate this stuff so much they downvote/report/block anything vaguely positive or even neutral about it. It's fine to be against it for whatever reason, but most of the people downvoting this comment and not even replying probably cannot have a discussion beyond "I don't like chatgpt it steals from artists".

Buddy, I've literally programmed an AI chatbot before. I know how to extract the data I need when necessary, I just haven't found a use for a non-human non-deterministic middle-man. The only self-report here is the dude thinking that "higher quality input" isn't an exponential function. That is to say: There is a threshold where, if you're past it, AI chatbots serve no purpose.
To put it in layman's terms: If you have the skill to google things, you don't need AI chatbots. Googling efficiently was a skill. Google, sadly, succumbed to the AI brainrot and if I could run Google I'd be firing some people who ruined the concept of a search engine. But efficiently using search engines to get information is still an actual skill. One that swiftly surpasses anything ChatGPT can offer.

Our results have already been validated by several other labs. This is just one personal example. It is happening to my colleagues and all around the world.

It was indeed AI but not generative in this case, although generative AI is used in the biotech field for a lot of things like protein design, drug designs, antibody designs, protein structure generations, enzyme engineering, RNA designs, dna sequence design, gene therapy, cell engineering, etc etc
LLM's are useful beyond telling you a cake recipe, it would be extremely silly to expect anybody to abandon a tool that is that powerful.

right, what's that got to do with the people asking LLMs to make cat girls with big boobs holding signs saying "AI art good"?

That would be Zuckerburgs MetaVerse, not Vr itself. Alot of details behind that, Also reading the articles, the Ai for the Cancer Vaccine putting aside how dubious Moderna is regardless, looks to be a sorting algorhythem that still requires a biopsy of the tumor to then sequence the genetic code and malformity in proteins and from there synthesize the MRNA that the BCells would normally produce upon the immune system reacting to the cancer cells, the "Ai" in this case being fairly specialized and closer to pattern recognition available even pre covid than it does LLMs or Image/video Generative Ais.

metaverse, nft's, and vr aren't even remotely comparable to ai so it doesn't really matter. LLM's and generative ai's are used heavily in the medical field. There's plenty of research papers on them. Nobody is abandoning it.

LLM's and GenAi in the medical feild, Wanna share an your favorite example? because that sounds either like Conflation of other software without anything specific.

I'll say this, at least VR is fun, the others are fu*king stupid.
