THE AI Thread
- Thread starter qwerty
- Start date
The Audi AI machine is working overtime churning out stories like this.
From what I have seen so far, AI has brought way more harm than good. I used to trust a couple of reputable neutral news sources to see what is going on in the world, but I seriously do not trust anything anymore. All content (text, pictures, videos) is hard to decipher what is real. Couple this with social media and we have a real disaster brewing. Entities creating fake/bogus content to stir emotions, pit people against one another, and get clicks so they get $'s in their pocket. Quite sad really.
It's going to get worse before it gets better, that I'm sure of.
My personal bud Chat would like to have a word, qwerty!!
For the Doom - N - Gloomers, a little perspective...
1961: "There is practically no chance communications space satellites will be used to provide better telephone, telegraph, television or radio service inside the United States." — T.A.M. Craven, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner.
1966: "Remote shopping, while entirely feasible, will flop.” — Time Magazine.
1981: “Cellular phones will absolutely not replace local wire systems.” — Marty Cooper, inventor.
1995: "I predict the Internet will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse." — Robert Metcalfe, founder of 3Com.
2005: "There's just not that many videos I want to watch." — Steve Chen, CTO and co-founder of YouTube expressing concerns about his company’s long term viability.
2006: "Everyone's always asking me when Apple will come out with a cell phone. My answer is, 'Probably never.'" — David Pogue, The New York Times.
2007: “There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share.” — Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO.

Definitely seems like technology (especially AI) is now advancing faster than the ability of humans and human society to adapt to the changes brought by the technology.
imagine how much you'd love it if you used the products that were good
I'm amazed how helpful Gemini for me. Just in the last week:
1. Found an alternative to a prescription drug for a friend. She has been paying $400/month, and she can get the generic for $3 without insurance.
2. Helped me make an itinerary for a trip I have planned for Austria/Hungary for this summer.
3. Helped me figure out how much it would cost me per month by raising the temp in my house 2 degrees during the day. I loaded my MidAmerican invoices in. BTW-More expensive to run a space heater that just warms one room.
4. Helped me build a 5 year TIPS ladder
5. Helped me figure out the best size fan for my living room, and height
6. I had wiped out my Windows NUC machine, and wanted to reinstall a certain program, which was rather complex. It walked me right through the whole process.
7. I got a warning this morning that my Remote Desktop was no longer going to work. It had a solution in seconds.
It's also failed me multiple times. I had a question about beer, and it pointed me to Beer Crazy, which has been closed for probably 5 years.

People that post these comparisons simply do not grasp what AI and generative AI truly is or will be capable of.
This is so short sighted it’s honestly just absurd
It's definitely a mixed bag.
I'm currently working on creating an agent for myself to save me time going through all the damn slide decks I have to keep up on.
Funny thing about the training we had for it, I watched the recorded version of it and some dumbass accidently turned his camera on while he was sitting there with his shirt off. I don't think he noticed for like 5 minutes or so before turning his camera off.

Yep. They're all in on AI. BRICS is racing to get digital currency running to by pass the US dollar. This is a big time problem. China also stopping the shipment of minerals that are used to make bullets and micro processors which in my opinion is why they're so hot after Greenland.
And then soon there will be an AI that can not only save time but then do whatever job it is that you do that you need slidedecks for.
So many people praise AI for making their job “easier” but if your using AI to that degree for your job then your job will be replaced sooner rather then later
I've seen predictions of 75% of all labor will be replaced.
Greenland is 100% something Musk and Thiel pushed, probably Ellison to. No evidence to back that statement up but it just seems obvious.
We're starting to get pressure at work to show how we use AI daily to improve productivity. It's not nearly as much as higher ups expect but it definitely saves me some time. Also implementing AI in our products for things like automated biller coding, handling denials and other workfkows.
