I genuinely find LLMs to be helpful with a wide variety of tasks. I have never once found an NFT to be useful.

Here's a random little example: I took a photo of my bookcase, with about 200 books on it, and had my LLM make a spreadsheet of all the books with their title, author, date of publication, cover art image, and estimated price. I then used this spreadsheet to mass upload them to Facebook Marketplace in bulk. In about 20 minutes I had over 200 facebook ads posted for every one of my books; I only had to do a quick review of the spreadsheet to fix any glaring issues. I also had it use some marketing psychology to write attractive descriptions for the ads.

I'm waiting for the cheap graphic cards

Guesses at next tech bro stuff (some already in the wild) unfortunately, we're not done with AI yet

AI Teachers and Tutors

Full AI video commercials.

3D AI experiences in VR.

AI medical diagnosis for both consumer and insurance

AI pricing for insurance

AI shopping assistants, clothes, styling, decorating

AI mid-level management to rat out on people not working 60hrs a week.

I’m seeing foldable phones and tablets in lots of movies like it’s an amazing tech people can’t wait for. When in reality they are spinning their wheels trying to get you to keep buying a new phone for $1500 every year. This one has a new button!!!

AI is now a catch-all acronym that is becoming meaningless. The old, conventional light switch on the wall of the house I first lived in some 70 years ago could be classified as 'AI. The switch makes a decision, based on what position I put it in. I turn the light on, it remembers that decision and stays on. The thing is, the decision was first made by me and the switch carried out that decision, based on criteria that was designed into it.

That is, AI still does not make any decision that humans have not designed it to make in the first place.

What is needed, is a more appropriate terminology, describing the actual process of what we call AI. And really, the more appropriate descriptor would not be Artificial Intelligence, but Human-made Intelligent devices. All of these so-called AI devices and applications are, after all, completely human designed and human made. The originating Intelligence still comes from the minds of humans.

Most of the applications which we call Artificial Intelligence are actually Algorithmic Intelligence - decisions made based on algorithms designed by humans in the first place. The devices just follow these algorithms. Since humans have written these algorithms, it should really be no surprise that these devices are making decisions very similar to the decisions humans would make. Duhhh. We made them in our own image, no wonder they 'think' like us.

Really, these AI devices do not make decisions, they merely follow the decisions humans first designed into them.

Big Blue, the IBM chess playing computer, plays excellent chess because humans designed it to play chess, and to make chess decisions, based on how humans first designed the chess game.

What would be really scarry would be if Big Blue decided of its own volition that it no longer wanted to play chess, but it wanted to play a game it designed.

399 responses and counting. I got bore going through them. The train, apparently is VERY long and indeed will take a VERY long time to pass.

They're trying to make movie AI in the stupidest way possible. unless it's writing itself then it's not even AI

Fascism. Apparently.

AND the huge AR/metaverse wave!
