So Ai companies aren't responsible for the training data they stole, aren't responsible for the output. What exactly are they responsible for other than the (limited) profits? Seems to me the only thing they care about is protecting power and the status quo.
What limited productive use they have seems to be constrained to software development. Any kind of deep insight is classified as a hallucination and removed. It's becoming clearer and clearer that these products are a stopgap only; billions of dollars to make sure nothing changes. Yet it will happily spit out obviously fake sources, a different definition of "hallucinations," in the domains of science and law. These are information weapons against small businesses and individual autonomy.
I don't think it's any accident that Character.ai is targeted at children.
- akira2501 2y ago> limited productive use they have seems to be constrained to software development. It can write functions in some instances if you're exceptionally careful with your prompting. It can't do "software development."
- HeWhoLurksLate 2y ago> It can't do "software development." Sure, but it's also currently a heck of a lot faster than a junior dev at iterating
- CivBase 2y agoSure, but unlike a junior dev its output wont improve with time. You'll have to hold its hand for eternity.
- meiraleal 2y agoI wouldn't put my money on them. It went from stupid intern to competent junior dev in 2 years.
- root_axis 2y agoThat's like comparing a mathematician to a calculator. The LLM won't do anything useful if you aren't providing it with a perpetual sequence of instructions.
- ehnto 2y agoI would rather the junior go do that in their own time and get back to me when they have figured it all out. I don't want to babysit juniors, I want to mentor them and then give them the lead and time to figure out the minutiae. That gives me time to get stuff done too. With AI right now, you end up down a senior while they are babysitting a rapid junior. I have found it useful for starting novel tasks by seeing if there's already an established approach, but I pretty well always have to fudge it into a real application which is again, the part I want the junior to do.
- mattigames 2y agoIn classic capitalist fashion the only thing AI is unambiguously responsible for is to fulfill its shareholders' interests.
- whateveracct 2y agoCompanies love to launder responsibility.
- neuroelectron 2y agoAnd governments love to grant clemency to those creating value.
- Nasrudith 2y agoHave you looked at society? There is no advantage to taking responsibility so nobody but suckers do so.

- rpcope1 2y agoThe killer product for "AI" isn't even really as a programming aid; it's generating an absolute torrent of plausible looking spam and otherwise committing fraud.
