Basically the internet.

This is what pisses me off about the whole endeavour. We can't even get a fucking search algo right any more, why the fuck do i want a machine blithely failing to do what it's told as it stumbles off a cliff.

It'll be like if they brought clippy back but only this time hes even more of an asshole and now he can fuck up your OS too.

There’s even rumours

Like, I know we all love to hate Microsoft here but can we stop with the random nonsense? That's not what's happening, at all.

Windows Co-pilot just popped up on my Windows 11 machine. Its disclaimer said it could provide surprising results. I asked it what kind of surprising results I could expect, it responded that it wasn't comfortable talking about that subject and ended the conversation.

Paperclip

It's sad to see it spit out text from the training set without the actual knowledge of date and time. Like it would be more awesome if it could call time.Now(), but it 'll be a different story.

At this point i just interpret AI to be "we have lots of select statements and inner joins "

I do agree, but on the other hand...

What does your brain do while reading and writing, if not predict patterns in text that seem correct and relevant based on the data you have seen in the past?

AI is whatever machines can't do yet.

Playing chess was the sign of AI, until a computer best Kasparov, then it suddenly wasn't AI anymore. Then it was Go, it was classifying images, it was having a conversation, but whenever each of these was achieved, it stopped being AI and became "machine learning" or "model".

I got a toothbrush like that once https://i5.walmartimages.com/seo/Oral-B-Genius-X-10000-Rechargeable-Electric-Toothbrush-with-Artificial-Intelligence-3-Brush-Heads_19660abb-d856-4473-ae0d-6636c33293be_1.fc982a88c5127217104083f50e35a86f.jpeg

if it only were AI and not just llms, machine learning or just plain algorithms. but yeah let's call everything AI from here on. NFTs could be useful if used as proof of ownership instead of expensive pictures etc

I had a manager tell me some stuff was being scanned by AI for one of my projects.

No, you are having it scanned by a regular program to generate keyword clouds that can be used to pull it up when humans type their stupidly-worded questions into our search. It’s not fucking AI. Stop saying everything that happens on a computer that you don’t understand is fucking AI!

I’m just so over it. But at least they aren’t trying to convince us chatGPT is useful (it definitely wouldn’t be for what they would try to use it for)

Ain't gotta use it to sell it or slap AI stickers on top of whatever products you're selling

Larger companies have been working fast to sandbox the models used by their employees. Once they are safe from spilling data they go all in. I'm currently on a platform team enabling generative Ai capabilities at my company.
