😹 How are we concerned with statistical systems being vulnerable (which is shitty, sure) when they don’t even lead to productivity increases, that is they cannot even do the jobs they’re made to do? Get real. What a clownshow
“AIs” can’t even operate vending machines, let alone recognize handwriting reliably or translate text. I know a few people that work in archives with (pre-)medieval manuscripts and I myself have bitten my teeth out on Google Translate™ and DeepL™. That’s how I know. There was also a study done on that vending machine thing. Come to think of it, you could make a simple vending machine that collects usage statistics and sends reports via radio that just works using a few scripts. Emphasis on “works”.

Yeah this is what bugs me.
There are no trade off, there are only disadvantages.
It’s like a drug that not only it’s bad for you, it’s also not fun to do.
Cigarettes after a week?
Really? Just one week? I thought it took months to get numb to it.
Now that I think about it, it’s a good metaphor.
AI could reaaallly use a surgeon general warning on it.
Amen
No productivity increase? What? For waiters maybe.
What are you? An investor?
