@anthony sounds like #critiHype to me. "AI" can't consistently get basic tasks right.
Sure Signal do some good stuff. But the CEO also pockets 700k $ a year and users are still forced to use phone numbers with the service, a huge privacy hole in the service
I came across this article that talks about #CritiHype, where you take an over boisterous claim of some techbro, assume everything they say is true, but just spin it in a negative way.
For example "LLM's can do everything humans can"
"This tech will replace 100% of human jobs!"

Critique de film
Alienoid (2022)
Dans un joyeux bordel un Terminator affronte des aliens emprisonnés dans des corps humains... Le tout dans une narration discontinue mâtinée d'une dose de sauce tigre et dragon et d’humour potache et parodique.
C'est foutraque à souhait, les effets spéciaux passent du très correct au carrément cheap entre 2 scènes.
On finit par apprécier ce film complètement décalé : à ne pas prendre au premier degré.
Two companies, one of which has promised autonomous cars since 2018 & the other failing at them completely launch a project depending on fleets of flawless autonomous vehicles & it's treated as if it's something other than another SV pipe dream?
Even trying to hold a flippant tone, how is #Gizmodo doing anything but #critihype here?

Super interesting, though the citing of a 2023 report that claims that "by 2026, nearly 90% of all online content will be AI-generated" sounds like it could be #critihype
59.7% of GPT-3.5 outputs contained some form of plagiarized content. 45.7% of all outputs contained identical text, and 46.5% had paraphrased text. GPT-3.5 isn’t manufacturing “brand new” text; most of the content hails from a previous source. https://t.co/quOZbzduZ3
We should introduce the securities that #UBI is supposed to give people, for many reasons.
But not because #generativeModels "#AI" is capable of replacing people. That‘s buying into destructive #critihype about the capabilities of the technology.
GenMods *cannot* replace people to the same quality, and they‘re giant tools to plaster shut the human creative sharing space with so much useless signal it drowns out human creativity.

"Whether [AI causing a split between creativity and capitalism] causes a creative dark age or a creative golden age, depends on whether we get an unconditional basic income. Without it, everybody who needs to make a living will be forced to do something other than writing or illustrating.... It's going to be pretty grim. With a UBI, the human creative process will be more free than it's ever been." https://ranprieur.com/index.html
If your *boss* thinks an AI can do your job, and AI critics are all running around with their hair on fire, shouting about the coming AI jobpocalypse, then maybe the AI really *can* do your job?

There's a name for this kind of criticism: #CritiHype, coined by #LeeVinsel, who points to many reasons for its persistence, including the fact that it constitutes an "academic business-model":
