i have yet to hear of anyone actually using AI for something properly
only exception im excited about is the non-main characters from video games, where a lot of the random NPCs, can now actually bring some more fun to the game.
- lynx23 2y agoVision models are a godsent for blind user. I use a vision model to sort my laundry, for instance... And translation and grammar/spell checking is also at a level which was unthinkable before LLMs hit. But thats it, really. The "talking machine" aspect of it is more and more uncovered as totally useless.
- riffraff 2y ago> I use a vision model to sort my laundry you built a robot that sorts laundry? Tell us more!
- lynx23 2y agoNo, I never said that. But you already know that. The robot in this case is me holding a smart phone.
- indigo945 2y agoIs that faster than just determining by touch what type of garment something is? Or is this about sorting by color?
- lynx23 2y agoIts for sorting by color/print. Some things you remember instantly by touch, others not so much.
- 1dom 2y agoThis sounds really cool - so you point it at individual items of clothing and it reads out the type of clothing and colour? Do you have any more info or links about the setup?
- Bloedcoins 2y agohttps://www.bemyeyes.com/ https://www.bemyeyes.com/ you can scroll down to the new AI version.
- lynx23 2y agoIts basically a gpt4o in disguise. The feature is called BeMyAI, and it is being released via BeMyEyes. I would have answered earlier, but the silly HN rate limiter prevented me from passing the link to you. I dont want to look it up yet agan. And I dont want to use HN anymore,, this rate limit time-waster really just killed my sympathy for this site.
- riffraff 2y agoactually I did not and I thought it would be awesome, people on the internet have impressed me before. Sorry if I came off negatively.
- PeterStuer 2y agoI run in production a system that uses LLM translation and summerization from hundreds of sources in dozens of languages. Users are extremely satisfied by the results that are far cheaper and far higher quality than what was available before
- Filligree 2y agoWhich system is this?
- PeterStuer 2y agoIt is an inhouse system in a niche market, not available for sale. I use the OpenAI api for now with very good results, though long term I would prefer to have an on-premise solution if quality and scope (in terms of supported languages) can be maintained. Codewise, as you can imagine, the AI is a very small part of the codebase, but without it the system would be pretty useless. I think many underestimate the true usefulness the current generation of AI has already achieved because a lot of it is in traditional, boring, bespoke or inhouse LoB systems whereas the press always focuses on public B2C
- tourmalinetaco 2y agoClaiming no one is using MLMs “properly” despite the various scientific and industrial use cases (vision systems, robots, protein folding, drug simulation, etc) while being “excited” for something as pathetically trivial as a text generator with a text-to-speech tacked on for your mass-produced open world games. Truly peak HN.
- Bloedcoins 2y agoI have seen plenty of very good internal AI Demos which we are adding to our products. From GenAI stuff, to image analysis, lightweight agents who answer proper questions. I used chatgpt 3 days ago to generate a script for me. Saved me probably an hour too. We use it also in my startup for tasks which we wouldn't even tried without ML models because the quality of old libraries were to bad. Like pdf catalog to text, image classification and segmentation.
