Many Lemmy users' (understandable) hatred of AI seems to have stunted their abilities to keep up with AI advancements. Some of them even sound like they're at least a year behind.
This is probably fine for most of them (sometimes I envy that, tbh), but some of them might be setting themselves up to be blindsided.
BTW, for people who absolutely hate the idea of learning AI, but might have to: I get it. I did too. Maybe I can offer a weird perspective after being forced to cross over to the "dark side"...
Weird perspective from the other side
(This might not apply to most people, so I tucked it away here to take less space.)
Do you find it really satisfying to "dial in" something? Anything. Maybe dialing in your home espresso shots, calibrating a 3D printer you built or modded, setting up a guitar to get the action and intonation right, getting an old motorcycle's carburetors in sync, iteratively tweaking a recipe to perfection โ whatever might scratch that itch for you.
If you're way into that kind of thing (and maybe pretty tech-oriented), you might actually enjoy building AI agent "skills" (basically instruction files for specific tasks). On the first run of a skill, it might get some things wrong. But as you run it through each round of evaluations and improvements, it gets better and better.
LLMs' results are probabilistic, not deterministic. So to build something on AI that actually works well, it needs to be "dialed in". It scratches that kind of itch, for me.
(BTW, if that ever starts to feel too easy: Try doing it with a small model running on your consumer-grade hardware ๐. That's hard mode)
I would rather put a gun in my mouth and suck it off until it cums my brains into the sweet release of death than engage with AI
Beautifully written tbh
Thanks โจ๏ธ AI would never be able to write such proze.
to be fair, even hacker news users still sometimes say AI generated text can be spotted by emdashes even though that hasn't been true for a long time, and those folks trend far qualified to comment than most public social media. same with generating hands, but i really only see that one on places like reddit. it's not contained to lemmy, is my point.
I use AI a lot โ it still spits out em dashes all over the place
Heh, I've been abusing em dashes for years โ even before LLMs.
But yeah you're right. The "luddites" (not meant in the derogatory way) exist among many demographics. I've actually noticed an interesting dichotomy with many very skilled engineers who I greatly respect: Some have embraced AI and leveraged it to build some VERY cool things, while others still think AI is incapable of anything because they haven't figured out how to get decent results with it yet. I don't really see many in between those extremes.
One of them even handed a somewhat complex task to Claude Haiku (the model that generates the title of the conversation based on the first prompt), then determined that AI is just trash at everything ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Luddites were specifically protesting the use of automated sewing machines because they could... take their jobs.
Correct. I suppose I could have linked to that context or something. Thanks
