You could say the same thing about electricity in late 19th century or about cryptocurrency 2 years ago, so I don’t know…!

That literally is what the majority of cryptocurrencies are tho… (if not literally every single one). Not the best counter argument tbh.

I spoke about cryptocurrencies as the opposite of electricity to show that the argument “AI is only hype because they are using it as a marketing ploy to make money” is not valid. They used electricity as a gimmick also before it showed its usefulness. The same thing happened with cryptocurrencies but it remains hype. Reddit’s language comprehension is not so good today. They need the help of an AI of a natural language model.

Crypto has many scams but it’s also one of the most important inventions in recent memory. The idea that there is a form of money NOT issued and abused by the government is revolutionary. It is necessary to keep the government in check. Money is how the government keeps the population docile, funds wars and enrich themselves

How has it kept the government in check so far

Or is finding child abuse and drug cartels a version of keeping the government in check?

You don’t think USD funds drug cartels and child abuse and wars ? 😂 Every single crypto transaction is recorded on a PUBLIC ledger that the entire world can see. Everything is auditable. You cannot say the same for the US Dollar. Criminals that use BTC are morons, the problem is the government isn’t competent enough yet to understand how to read the public ledger.

And this has kept the government in check?

Yes .. look at Venezuela, Columbia, Africa - people hold their money in crypto because the government debases the currency to $0. The same thing will eventually happen to the USD - if the government isn’t careful, it will lose its reserve status and people have many other options now. Read “the ascent of money” - government currencies rarely last more than a few decades, they ALL eventually go to $0 leaving citizens poor.

My point isn't whether or not AI will be impactful, but how it's being handled and marketed at the moment. My point is its being hyped in dishonest ways by marketers and rushed into application even though it isn't ready for that yet.

How about we base our judgment on real/normal use cases instead of going to edge cases and claim AI sucks. This goes for Bing, ChatGPT, Bard, etc.

The problem is these aren't edge cases.

Really? Playing against AI inner state is something one does in every day life?

Are you implying that Microsoft releases products to early and in need of more development. Bing will not be happy about this. I however welcome our new robot overlords.

the thing is that most companies thought like you that these language models were not ready yet, but chatGPT proved there already is a huge market for it as it is, so now everyone is panicked not to lose the train, no one wants to be the next Nokia or Microsoft mobile.

I understand the rush and fear of being left behind, but these are simply shoddy implementations and anyone who actually understand how these things work or has the knowledge to fact check can see this.
