I can’t figure out if most of the people in the Fediverse are anti AI, or if it just happens to be who I follow and engage with.

@dtm There are probably some really good specific uses but AI everywhere all the time is complete stupidity
@dtm intelligence is never artificial and machines do not learn. If by “AI” you mean the current hype nonsense and unethical use of data and torturous use of humans for training large language models to feed generative pretrained transformers.…I fall into the hate it category. If you mean the field of AI, that has led to amazing advances in algorithms and heuristics in a variety of fields, and even furthering our understanding in neuroscience…I love it. 1/
2/ I do think that the use of causal inference will provide far greater advances over the next decade, especially as graph and topological algorithms become more widely understood and used, than since I was first introduced to Bayesian Neural Networks in 1988. The next step of codifying conceptualization is much further away. I stand by our sensor analytics ecosystems maturity model of connection, communication, contextualization, collaboration, causation, conceptualization and cognition.
3/ If anything like artificial intelligence is to be realized, the ability to represent causal chains and loops by interacting with the physical world and collaborating with humans to form concepts will be essential. This leads to basic steps for organizations in their processes, products, community interactions, ethical considerations and ecological impact. 3/3
@dtm not complaining, but the survey response options are not nuanced enough for me. I feel like there could eventually be great uses. But it’s currently being pushed as a cure all for ails we don’t actually have.

@macosken Intentionally so, yes.

Personally, I don’t think anyone can rationalize the cost: financial, ecological, and humanistic. I don’t care what it can do, and right now, it can’t do much.

@dtm yeah. Feels like we’ve handed Gatling guns built by 8th graders to 5th graders.
@dtm @Nerdfest I hate hype, and misuse of technology based on hype. In the case of today’s various machine learning models, the hype is off the charts.

@dtm

Please define AI

AI will not be created with silicon

If you're saying LLM is AI, then that all depends on the model and what it's trained on ... And depends on the person / people that trains them

It's a very complex issue. .. and I have been blocked because of my stand on AI, LLM and models etc

@MelissaBearTrix So, you’re clearly in the third option. :)
