A very good take on these "AI" hype-explosions that have happened lately https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/09/autocomplete-worshippers/#the-real-ai-was-the-corporations-that-we-fought-along-the-way

It is what I was talking since 2016 when I released the book Human Machine https://www.tromsite.com/books/#flipbook-df_6608/1 - these "AI" are neither Artificial or Intelligent. Are statistical pieces of software, and with enough repetition and filters applied to it, can result in cool party-tricks such as creating interesting images and videos, or pieces of text.

That's all it is.

Sure, could be useful if used by non-profits and for a social cause, but else they are just hyped and mostly useless. It is, as Cory puts it in his article, yet another "blockchain-revolution" that never happened.

It is easy to get tricked in today's world, and that's many times because of "trade reasons". Meaning, the companies behind these tools hype the fuck out of them to raise "capital" and sell them, and so they fool the rest. Intelligence, Learning, Neural Networks, Hallucinating....fuck off! These are pieces of software based on a lot of data and statistical outputs.

I remember how IBM Watson was about to "change the world" and replace doctors, lawyers, programmers, you name it! It even wont a Jeopardy game several years ago. Where is it now? Again, HYPE.

Be aware of these!
