Why exactly do we _think_ AI will take over our jobs exactly?! -- And it doesn't learn! Try asking the same question in a fresh session.

@prologic that's not the way LLM work. LOL. If they were to "learn" by user's corrections, or contributions, then they would really be screwed.

@prologic Sometimes some “coding AI” spits out some partially useful snippet, and then one of us nerds panics and claims the end is nigh. I think that’s about it. 🤔

All these “AI” topics are extremely boring to me. (Traditional) computer stuff is a hobby and a passion of mine because I can *understand* it. How does an operating system work, how does a web server work, how does a keyboard work, how do you do 3D graphics, … All those are things that I can learn and understand, and that’s the thrill. But anything related to “AI”? It’s just statistics and a large model that spits out something for some reason … Super boring. I couldn’t be less interested.

And on top of that, “AI” requires a ton of energy (as far as I know), which we, as a species, cannot afford right now. It needs to stop.

@bender I mean @movq is basisally spot on! These pieces of crap are just large expensive statistical models that occasionally spit out something sort of valid for some reason, but otherwise are the most useless idiotic and inefficient things I've ever seen or used.
