AI can't solve problems. This should be abundantly clear by now from the number of laughable and even dangerous "solutions" it gives while stealing content, destroying privacy, and sucking up tons of power to do so. Just ban AI.

Just take some time to look up the benefits of AI and what it is being used to solve. It's easy to focus on how corporations are abusing the technology for profit, but it's a bland weak perspective to think that AI can't solve problems.

It can't even solve simple queries correctly half the time. Exactly what "benefits" can come from such a flawed system that steals its information, destroys privacy, and uses tons of resources?

Grow up and admit you're fascinated by some sci-fi bullshit poorly implemented by garbage corporations.

Lie and lie again, neither do you realize there are open source LLMs. You keep yelling to ban it when nothing you write even matters.

Have you seen how many garbage query returns people get? It's completely ineffectual unless you just treat it like a simple non "AI" search engine query, in which case, why bother wasting time with AI?

And do you realize how much power and time is needed to create a local LLM? The reason AI is generally implemented online is because it's so incredibly complex and computationally heavy to do it locally for any decent amount of data. So unless you're a fucking pervert with 20 overpowered PCs paying thousands a month on electricity generating AI porn art, what's the point?

You really need to specify what you mean by "AI". AI has been used in tons of applications for decades. Do you mean LLMs? Because not all AI is LLMs.

At this point there's barely a difference in practical use. And both are the same amount of stupid, sucking up tons of power, destroying privacy, and stealing information. It's all bullshit and should be banned.

How is this not something that is a common sense, widely accepted worldview? Are people this dense?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Because you clearly do not have any technical understanding of the field, or what machine learning even is, or how it can be useful, and the dozen of different things also called AI.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Says the person with zero understanding of the terrible problems with AI. It's just rampant, ignorant fanboyism at this point. Ban it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes. Let’s ban AI so the cartels take over the market for AI. What a great plan.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

The living fuck are you on about? What cartels? What?

You people are so brainwashed by the AI bullshit being spouted by these rich corporations that you can't see its huge problems.
