Hendrik Rommeswinkel@thelinuxEXP I find the ai hate a bit overblown. Sure, it makes mistakes, yes, running it without privacy issues is costly. But 9/10 brave/google/ddg searches the ai summary gives me the approximate information that I need. Hating AI for its mistakes is like hating Newtonian physics because technically Einstein... Would love a more balanced take on all the AI stuff.
David Fleetwood - RG Admin@hendrik @thelinuxEXP I find the AI hate underblown. It's wrong at least 45% of the time per studies, slows programmers down by 17%, consumes enormous resources that is driving up the cost of living for communities, does tremendous environmental damage, and was built by using other's work without consent.
All this so a tiny number of corporations could hype it up for stock gains and make the ultra wealthy even wealthier at the expense of a wide swath of regular people's jobs.
@reflex I initially read this as "overblown" and I was getting ready to furiously type, but yeah, you're right on the money here. I'm not denying there are useful use cases, but man is it unethical to build and use.
@thelinuxEXP To be fair, I don't think "underblown" is an actual word, but hey, English is malleable.
I'm not against what we are calling AI inherently, I am against how it was created, the costs of operating it, and how it is being applied.
I'm against all fashware, and anything anti-human in general.
