Eniko Fox"AI is here to stay": never backed by any actual evidence
"AI is a bubble": backed by the actual economics playing out in the real world
Marty Fouts@eniko Actual evidence: CorridorKey. If you equate “AI” with the subset consisting of large language models, ignoring 60+years of computer science, then sure, there is a bubble and it’s going to pop because LLMs are an unethical environmental disaster of a dead end.
If you look at the entire 60+ years, though it becomes hard to imagine things like machine vision or go players or even green screen removal going away.
@MartyFouts when i say AI i mean the things that are labeled AI and not the things that are not labeled AI
Kaito@eniko @MartyFouts that's one way to put it 😁
@eniko So do I. Machine vision has been a branch of AI since the 60s. Deep Blue’s Chess program, AlphaGo, and CorridorKey are all examples of machine learning, a branch of AI since the 50s. All of these are labeled AI in the literature.
Whatever you label it, the research field isn’t going away, its researchers are going to continue to call it AI, and it will still produce good results like CorridorKey, long after the LLM bubble bursts.
