falsehoods youtubers believe about "AI"

hearing gullible 20-somethings say "this technology DOES have good use-cases, like in medicine for example…"

is going to turn me into the fucking Joker

@SnoopJ Does the protein folding one count as not a good use case?

@OliviaVespera it is a good use of machine learning

the discussion is about generative AI like Large Language Models (LLM) or audio, image and video generators that are trained on copyrighted material

@SnoopJ

@davidak @OliviaVespera @SnoopJ
Does anyone know of a good list that differentiates between the multiple types of "AI" technologies? LLM vs. MoE vs. …?
That would be helpful in such discussions...

@musevg you would have to go pretty deep into the topic to understand all the different approaches

Wikipedia has probably a good neutral overview

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence

and here LLMs specifically

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model

it is a big research field going back to 1943

i think the technology and research is not the problem, but for-profit companies acting unethical by ignoring copyright and making billions from the stolen work of (small) artists

Back in the day, we had expert systems, PROLOG, LISP.

Now I'm just looking for the right terms to discern the different types of "AI"… I guess, image creators like Midjourney and music generators like Suno aren't LLMs. Or are they? And the correct term for "AI" used to analyze images (medical or geo/spatial) is...?

@musevg @davidak @OliviaVespera @SnoopJ

I think the name you are looking for is somewhere around "deep nerural network", "recuring neural network" and "artufucal neural network".

So "artificial deep recuring neural networks" maybe?

Or maybe just "neural networks"?
