AI is a technological inflection point. It's scary, but also exhilarating and fun to live through. Most of the world is as ignorant about AI as people were about personal computing in 1982. It's just breaking in to the mainstream, yet totally mysterious. IMHO, it's a good time to learn about AI.
@danielpunkass the problem is that most people conflate interactions with LLMs as "AI". becuase the LLM is a trained model, it gives reasonable sounding answers and the people interacting with it generally assume it is absorbing new info from the conversation. but it doesn't.
meanwhile there is all the controversy over the information used to train the model.
these two problems have to be solved; the first to make them generally useful and the second for ethics. pointing out ethical issues out is not the same as complaining a Commodore-64 couldn't scan photos.
meanwhile... I will also point out that in 1991 or so the Amiga was really really good at visual tracing and generating video. so advances come in fits and starts.
