I am more than a little alarmed at how utterly dependent Iโ€™m seeing business people, and IIT people specifically, becoming on LLMs for their work. And not in a โ€œletโ€™s design a cute avatarโ€ kind of way.
Itโ€™s funny, the vision I and many people had about AI was more like what we see in Star Trek, where the technology radically drives up the knowledge of individuals. But on our current trajectory, Star Trek will just be Idiocracy in space with people asking the computer how to use the shower. Certainly Iโ€™m missing something?
@jerry Oh there's a great example of the bad path of AI in Star Trek and it's what we're becoming: the Pakleds
@hrbrmstr @jerry
Idk I think it's more like the Teacher from Spock's Brain. You get knowledge that makes everything seem like 'child's play' for three hours, after which it makes no sense at all.
@FritzAdalis @hrbrmstr @jerry Iโ€™ve been thinking lately that weโ€™re heading into the information dark ages. So much LLM slop that the truth canโ€™t be discerned and what seems to be less access to accurate information
@danwwilson @FritzAdalis @jerry i do have to find a cpl extra sources for any important news I read to ensure it's not fabricated. and i won't trust any image (and haven't engaged in video viewing for years now) anymore.
