    Isn’t this one of the LLMs that was partially trained on Reddit data? LLMs are inherently a model of a conversation or question/response based on their training data. That response looks very much like what I saw regularly on Reddit when I was there. This seems unsurprising.

    Something to keep in mind when people are suggesting AI be used to replace teachers.

      To be fair, some human teachers are way worse with abusive behaviour…

      I still agree, that you shall not replace teachers with LLM, but teachers should teach how to use and what they can/can’t do in schools.

      Imagine if internet was still banned from schools…

    I’m still really struggling to see an actual formidable use case for AI outside of computation and aiding in scientific research. Stop being lazy and write stuff. Why are we trying to give up everything that makes us human by offloading it to a machine?

      AI summaries of larger bodies of text work pretty well so long as the source text itself is not slop.

      Predictive text entry is a handy time saver so long as a human stays in the driver’s seat.

      Neither of these justify current levels of hype.

        Go look at the models available on huggingface.

        There’s applications in Visual Question Answering, Video to Text, Depth Estimation, 3D recreation from a photo, Object detection, visual classification, Translation from language to language, Text to realistic speech, Robotics Reinforcement learning, Weather Forecasting, and those are just surface-level models.

        It absolutely justifies current levels of hype because the research done now will absolutely put millions out of jobs; and will be much cheaper than paying people to do it.

        The people saying it’s hype are the same people who said the internet was a fad. Did we have a bubble of bullshit? Absolutely. But there is valid reason for the hype, and we will filter out the useless stuff eventually. It’s already changed entire industries practically overnight.

          the reactionary opinions are almost hilarious. they’re like “ha this AI is so dumb it can’t even do complex systems analysis! what a waste of time” when 5 years ago text generation was laughably unusable and AI generated images were all dog noses and birds.

          I think he’s talking about the LLMs, which…yeah. AI and LLMs are lumped together (which makes sense, but classification makes a huge difference here)

            Even LLMs in the context of coding, I am no programmer - I have memory issues, and it means I can’t keep the web of information in my head long enough to debug the stuff I attempt to write.

            With AI assistants, I’ve been able to create multiple microcontroller projects that I wouldn’t have even started otherwise. They are amazing assistive technologies. Many times, they’re even better than language documentation themselves because they can give an example of something that almost works. So yes, even LLMs deserve the amount of hype they’ve been given. I’ve made a whole game-server management back-end for ARK servers with the help of an LLM (qwen-coder 14b).

            I couldn’t have done it otherwise; or I would have had to pay someone $60k; which I don’t have, and which means the software never would have existed.

            I’ve even moved onto modifying some open source Android apps for a specialized camera application. Compared to a normal programmer, sure - maybe it’s not as good. But having it next to me as an inexperienced nobody allows me to write programs I wouldn’t have otherwise been able to, or that would have been too daunting of a task.

      Why are we trying to give up everything that makes us human by offloading it to a machine

      Because we don’t enjoy actually doing it. No one who likes writing is asking chat gpt to write for them. It’s people who don’t want to write but are required to for whatever reason. Humans will always try to come up with a way to not have to do the work they don’t want to but still get it done, even if it’s not as good. Using tools like this is very human.

        I really don’t see any value in AI art. AI pictures look like slop, AI music sounds soulless, AI writing I guess can be fine but usually sounds weird.

        I just don’t see the value in AI because to me, every use case scenario for anything artistic is justified with a capitalist excuse.

        I’ll give you the organizational ones, that’s understandable and not a bad reason. I suppose I have trouble getting behind taking the soul out of creating something just to slap it on an ad or product to sell something.

      The relentless pursuit of capitalism and reduced labor costs. I still don’t think anyone knows how effective it’s going to be at this point. But companies are investing billions to find out.

    I suspect it may be due to a similar habit I have when chatting with a corporate AI. I will intentionally salt my inputs with random profanity or non sequitur info, for lulz partly, but also to poison those pieces of shits training data.

        They don’t. The models are trained on sanitized data, and don’t permanently “learn”. They have a large context window to pull from (reaching 200k ‘tokens’ in some instances) but lots of people misunderstand how this stuff works on a fundamental level.

    2 years later… The all new MCU Superman meets the Wolverine and Deadpool all AI animated feature!..

    Why. Hello Mr wolverine 😁, my name is Man and I am super according to 98% of the other human population. Oh hello Mister Super last name Man! Yes, we are Wolverine and Deceased Pool. We are from America and belong to a non profit called the X-People, a group where both men and women who have been affected by DNA mutations of extraordinary kind gather to console one another and to defend human beings by taking advantages of the special mutations of its members. Yes, it’s quite interesting. And you? Oh I an actual called CalElle and I am a migrant from an expired plant that goes by the name you assigned the heavy novel gas Krypton. Anyway because the sun is bright and yellow I can fly, I’m very strong and can burn things with my eyes. I think I am similar to those of you in the X-People club! Good to meet you! Likewise!
