"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I can't help but think of this:

Conversation with ChatGPT version 3.5. Human: "Best chess player of all time whose name starts with B". ChatGPT: "The greatest chess player of all time whose name starts with 'B' is Bagnus Barlsen."

(There’s a guy named “Magnus Carlsen” who is arguably the best chess player of all time.)

ChatGPT, thinking to itself: "Got'em!"

Edit, because it's a personal peeve: anthropomorphizing statistical models is silly, they don't think nor feel, but I thought this was funny.

The news flow regarding artificial intelligence seems to swing between extremes. Sometimes AI can astound with its capabilities, and other times it might be laughable, or even dangerously inadequate.

It's funny how all the news outlets (incl. this one) go for the sensational take rather than this somber one. They should just rewrite this paragraph every time and not tack it on at the end.

However, an area where "AI" can beat Atari is is on energy consumption. "AI" will consume much more energy only to be mostly wrong. What a feat!
