S/O Opting out of AI

Then you need to learn what AI is. It’s “artificial intelligence”.

Ai is not new. Its been in existence for 50 years. It’s in your cars, your photos app, your email, your word processing, this DCUM site, Netflix, texting auto correct, chat bots, Waze or other GPS, banking app, etc.

DP. No one’s impressed with your knowledge. We’re talking about generative AI and you know it.

DP. And what do you think makes generative AI different or worse from the auto correct or GPS? To the point where you have to go out of your way to avoid it?

Personally, I like writing and coding and making art. I like the process. I like thinking. When humans stops doing things like this en masse, we get dumber and lazier. And we’re already pretty dumb and lazy.

Are you job searching currently? Tried to resolve a customer service issue with a chat bot recently? It’s all sh*t. Please bring back real human interactions!

Your understanding of AI is so non-existent that you think AI is only the little bot that interacts online with an end user like yourself?

No.

AI detects some forms of cancer better than human doctors. It's already in supervised use in medical settings. AI is in offices around the country, used to facilitate data searches (in highly technical areas like patents, for example), generate accurate weather predictions better than previous algorithms, build programs for finance and engineering, and so many other things.

Unless you want to live off the grid, you cannot "opt out" of AI. And you won't want to. Despite all the scaremongering, AI has the potential to save millions of lives in medical progress and emergency preparedness alone. It's already contributing to those fields significantly.

- scientist.


What a ridiculous thought.

Sort of. We had AI before we had what is now called AI. It was going by machine learning for the longest time. Those algorithms/methods proved to be very successful in pattern recognition areas. Naturally, you have to be careful with the training dataset. I recall one example of a radiology ML that was better radiologists at detecting cancer. The problem is that it was "reading" the notations on the X-rays. It had to be retrained. With the advent of GPUs and models capable of supporting millions of weights, it became possible to create what is an overgrown text predictor. Since investors are willing to dump funds into this "AI," everyone has been quick to rebrand everything as AI. Even Bayesian inference is being called AI in an attempt to grab the attention of investors. It's been around since we first started building computers, but it sounds so much cooler if you call it AI.

So, several different kinds of AI are all getting lumped together. When you say "opting out of AI" or "AI is evil," those phrases have no meaning without specifics because AI isn't a single thing.

PP you replied to. Thank you for your clarification. Yes, I understand what you mean.

Believe me, this will happen to you, too. Sooner than you realize.

lol.. DH and I were in the tech industry, but we actually never really cared that much for high tech. We joke that we will be like DH's father who hates computers and laments that the typewriter went extinct.

DS is a cs major, focusing on ML.

Is anyone else intentionally opting out/avoiding using AI where possible? I wasn’t a big user but I’m totally quitting it. Reducing internet use in general too.

You will still increasingly use it, and often you won't realize it.

I have to say I'd love a floaty chair that could go 40MPH! Heck yeah!
