@luci i think the flow chart is incomplete:
Do you need AI?

Is 0* equal to 13* -------- No, why are you even considering it
| No
|
Yes |

Consider taking
a first-grade
math class
instead
*Assuming standard u32's, as defined in RFC9669@memdmp @luci Hi, I'm a maths PhD student and I wanted to let you know that 0 and 13 can very well be equal (of course not as elements of the integers, but [if you are interested] as elements of finite fields or other "counting systems"). My research only applies to such context, so for me the flowchart suggests to actually use AI, but I don't think I'm going to follow it 😉
(As a similar example consider the clock: 12 and 0 are the same, and we all accept it!)

Many things are called "artificial intelligence".
Want a good computer chess game? That's AI.
Want industrial control systems that regulate machines more efficiently than humans? That's AI.
The current wave of LLM-based generative AI makes everyone crazy for it, even those who have no idea how it works, what it's good for, and what it isn't.
It provides normative text, which can look like a solution, even when it isn't one.
@dianaisnthere oh heck I’m busted
I’m actually looking for an artist to redo it for me for money because it’s a point of shame for me.
@luci isn't it more like this?
Probably not, yours is simpler and thus less prone to mistakes…
@luci funny.
I had the same idea today when our boss rambled about how everyone needs to become an AI expert.
I asked an AI to adapt this chart and I think this is perfectly illustrating the state of "AI".
@luci but do I want it?
Also no.
Exactly, AI is garbage... unless you forgot everything and then you needed to suddenly remember things, but you couldn't remember things... and you were lazy anyways, and didn't want to open "THE BOOKS"... they are literally right beside you anyways.
No! AI is bad... boooo
I certainly need AI. What I probably don't need, is an LLM.
@luci Straight to the point, nothing to add. Though if you'd want to add anything, it would still remain a straight line:
"But what if everyone else in the field is using AI?" - "Still no." - "But what if my customers want AI?" - "They sure as hell do not."
