I think one of the biggest fears people have about AI is that it isn't perfect as assumed, but that, like us humans, it takes the given information, assumes the most likely outcome, and presents it plausibly.
@anmey yeah, there’s this paradox — we kinda want computers to think like humans, but when they get plausibly good at it, we complain that they don’t think like computers anymore
Hello Mastodon, I know that a lot of you discuss the high environmental cost (such as energy use and water use) of AI and I hope that some of you could reply with authoritative publications/links regarding this problem! I want to try to convince an environmental science colleague #climatechange#AI#chatgpt#energy#technology#machinelearning#llm
I’d like to trust this story, but it fails to link to its supposed source or provide enough info to find it elsewise. A few clicks around the site makes me think that it may well be nothing but a #LLM-composed content farm. https://cosocial.ca/@kgw/112498693958537559
An #LLM with all the smoke and mirrors of statistical and analytic processing of the best of them, but based solely on the complete corpus of Shakespeare’s writings.
Ask any question and its reply will be in his words.
There's an economic curse on Large Language Models — the crappiest ones will be the most widely used ones.
The highest-quality models are exponentially more expensive to run, and currently are too slow for instant answers or processing large amounts of data.
Only the older/smaller/cut-down models are cheap enough to run at scale, so the biggest deployments are also the sloppiest ones.
I'd been writing a post for #weblogpomo2024 talking about some of the more comical fuck-ups all of these #ai and #llm have been spewing. And now I'm fucking furious.

I didn't even touch on CoPilot, nor did I give my Very Opinionated(?) Take that if you think like I do, you should stop using ChatGPT, OpenAI, any of the AI image tools you're using to make blog pictures, etc. But those are also important.
@niclake I don't use generative LLMs for this reason, as they are pretty much not ready for end users! Plus, these things run off of content that the LLM creators collected from the web. Likely copyrighted material that creatives used their whole mind to create; that passionate work is being fed into a data trashcan that can't understand the meaning of said works, it just vomits occasionally coherent responses in a text box.
