Today's AI Is Unreasonable
- seeknotfind 3y agoI was expecting a different direction: systems we had before are made of static rules, and today's ML can use reason to move beyond that. Being occasionally unreasonable may be ML's principle deficit, but its ability to reason at all guarantees its seat on the train of progress.
- ftxbro 3y ago> "A system where we can provide the same input multiple times, and the response will change in minor or major ways, for unknown and unknowable reasons, and yet we're expected to rebuild entire other industries or ecosystems around it, is merely a tool for manipulation. Narcissists and abusers use the inconsistent and capricious changing of responses as a way of controlling and manipulating their victims." This is a particularly dumb take on LLM-based AI. It's possible to negate this objection by just taking temperature 0 so it always gives the same response for the same input. But somehow I suspect this isn't their real objection.
- beardyw 3y agoYes, we are in an AI bubble. It replaces the crypto bubble and once again people will get hurt - probably by being fired to make way for the AI god. What we really need is common sense. We don't need to understand AI as much as we need basic scepticism.
