By now I think many people have seen my takes on this forum regarding AI and know I'm an enthusiastic skeptic. I think the capability of this technology is being exaggerated to the benefit of the large corporations that have made huge investments in it. I think a lot of the so called AI experts have put their eggs in the basket of throwing a shit load of data at a pretty limited number of relatively simple models. I think a lot of the people trying to apply AI to every field they can get their hands on are non-experts in that field and lack the knowledge and skill to know if their AI is any good or if it's just dogshit. I think LLMs will never be reliable enough for applications where correctness matters and we're never going to solve the hallucination problem. I think the people telling you we can solve those problems are trying to sell you something. I think the end result of all this bullshit is going to be a lot of wasted computational cycles and an entirely undeserved devaluation of knowledge work until the MBAs trying to fire all their knowledge workers realize they've made a huge mistake. I think this technology is going to make the internet worse and the biggest beneficiaries are the charletans and liars that never cared about truth in the first place.
