[I literally had this thought in the shower this morning so please don’t gatekeep me lol.]
If AI was something everyone wanted or needed, it wouldn’t be constantly shoved your face by every product. People would just use it.
Imagine if printers were new and every piece of software was like “Hey, I can put this on paper for you” every time you typed a word. That would be insane. Printing is a need, and when you need to print, you just print.
Back in 2000 a company published a chat bot that could learn and communicate back with the end user.
it was used as a sex bot at first and then used for those “interactive web support” chats.
I fed it physics books and mein kampf as a joke. it then began to regurgitate random lines out of both texts. not knowing what it was saying, but certainly attempting to make me “happy” with what it “learned”.
the only difference between that shitty sex bot and LLMs of today, is that today they are a bit more convincingly human but still hilariously inaccurate. Both trying desperately to be agreeable with the end user.
the nearest “revolution” is about 300 years away. everything else is just a lie.
