I don’t want to assume that everybody is dumb. This is a shitty way to be part of a society. But with LLM AI chatbots, people are constantly announcing their stupidity. It hurts my brain. This isn’t right.
COVID-19 was bad enough. Do we really need another indicator of low intelligence?
This one crosses generational and political lines much more so than anti-vaxxers and the nanobots-in-the-masks crowd.
One way to fight it might be to politicize it, ironically enough, with Trump’s approval under 30% on many issues, if we can label AI support as MAGA, that might slow the advance.
In my town, MAGA supports data centers “because jobs.” Fucking idiots don’t know how few people it takes to babysit computers. The jobs are low-paying security, and a few IT staff, with the bulk of the work done off-site from other states.
You anger more people if you walk in the middle of the road.
I remember criticizing people who were against AI in games. They are just calling everything AI, no matter what. They didn’t like to think for themselves, too.
i mean i don’t particularly enjoy games with generative AI stuff (as an example, with a few exceptions roguelike/lite is not my genre). like, the random little fetch quests you’d get in skyrim were not the best, but they would get you out and exploring new areas of the world (things you’d miss if you just did main storylines).
like, i can only minecraft so much. i like stuff that is personally crafted much more than stuff that is infinitely replayable but requires randomizers.

It’s not even idiocy, it’s sometimes just bot bothering to do proper research by oneself.
I wouldn’t call it stupidity, they’re more cripplingly naive.

The problem is that there’s more AI than just LLM AI.
Training a machine learning algorithm on a few thousand x-ray images doesn’t need multiple data centers or stealing copyrighted works.
Beating you in chess and go is possible without burning fossil fuels.
agreed, but that does not seem to be the way it is being used colloquially.
At the same time, people staunchly resistant to technological advances without a hint of nuance, not historically the sharpest tools.
There’s a middle road where the technology can be useful but the economic system pushing it is cancerous.

Yeahhh but anybody who is harshly in any direction hasn’t thought about it enough.
Some exceptions but fewer than you’d think.

Enemies in games use AI. I remember how proud developers were when their enemies started to search for cover when shot at.
One big part of AI research was always games.
You might like minecraft modpacks with quest lines and a linear progress then; i barelly play vanilla anymore since i discovered 'em
