Generative AI epitomizes the worse tendencies of our current society. It’s simply not worth the cost and only benefits a minority when the majority is paying the cost in terms of environmental, societal and mental wellness impacts.
The efforts spent on generative AI would probably be better served on solving actual problems instead of faking human competency but it’d be too easy if that was something techbros could fathom.
@metacosm unfortunately you and many other people are only focusing on proprietary services and completely ignore what's happening in open source generative AI community.
I only wonder if it's intentional or comes from lack of knowledge.
@hirad the same constraints apply to open-source models: you still need to train and fix them at enormous cost.
An open-source model is only slightly better in the sense that it’s somewhat less opaque but only marginally so. It doesn’t change the fact that gen AI is applied to wrong problems or what its limitations are, in my opinion.
