For all the hollowness of crypto, AI finally feels like it is building toward something meaningful.
Large Language Models like GPT-3 definitely aren't sentient (or even coherent often), but it's definitely more than what I could figure out how to code with vanilla python, which could not be said of the much simpler chat bot type systems 10 years ago.
Interesting and exciting things happen anytime a new tool is built and added to the toolkit.
- planetsprite 4y agoAI poses to be 9999999x more useful and interesting than even the most idealized crypto real-world use cases. The push for crypto in the last decade has been motivated largely by the allure of get-rich-quick schemes, not actual utility.
- beebmam 4y agoCryptocurrency is extremely valuable. It offers a safe and reliable path for scammers, drug lords, and sex traffickers to transfer funds. A degenerate's dream
- ramraj07 4y agoThis is a false equivalence though? Technologically speaking, nothing actually practically useful has been proposed since the original Bitcoin paper. Artificial intelligence is just by its very definition of the two words the future of mankind whether we like it or not. Of course much can be said about our current interpretation of what AI means but “crypto” (which is annoying since the bros have usurped an acronym that should belong to all cryptography) is literally just a fad.
