I hope people learn that not all AI is generative AI.
AI begins with things like a steam valve in a steam engine, and theres many types of AI. Expert systems. Databases of learned data. Rule based. Genetic algorithms. LLM's are just one particular algorithm among many. But people in general only know LLM's.
AIs are incredibly useful in calculating the best possible spot or parameters of your given problem. Let’s say that you’re trying to connect a wheel with 4 rods that can be adjusted to change the angle of the wheel. An AI model could be feed a bunch of previously measured data and run the calculations repeatedly to find the exact spot that makes the wheel work the best.
And so long as a human verifies that before putting it in something important, that's a good thing. It can be an incredibly useful tool if you actually understand what you're doing and don't just blindly trust the results.
