AI isn't useless

2024-04-17 18:15:19.232405+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

A little LLM optimism for the morning: Molly White: AI isn't useless. But is it worth it?

AI can be kind of useful, but I'm not sure that a "kind of useful" tool justifies the harm.

Not everyone is so optimistic: RT Charlie Stross @cstross@wandering.shop

@pluralistic @molly0xfff Eh, I think LLMs work really well at their intended purpose—which is to separate investors from their capital. (The claimed "benefits", meanwhile, are mostly a collection of bare-faced lies.)
