There are a lot of AI "haters" on CE. I'm guessing it's from people that don't really understand how to use the models available to the public and/or don't understand the state of AI today and it generates fear and dismissive feelings.Or they think it's absolute shit. I'm one of those folks.
Yeah, I think we all just need to accept that AI has a lot of powerful potential, accept that it's mostly a "genie out of the bottle" scenario at this point, & start deciding how we're going to live with it.
It depends on which model you're using and how you are trying to use it.It doesn't matter which one you used. It all looks artificial and void of any substance.
So, I would want to know which model(s) you are using and in what ways you've tried it.

I'm guessing it's from people that don't really understand how to use the models available to the public and/or don't understand the state of AI today and it generates fear and dismissive feelings.Well, in my case, it's a combination of several reasons why I'm rather opposed to AI.
Well, in my case, it's a combination of several reasons why I'm rather opposed to AI.I think it's kind of telling that you didn't come up with the actual reason you're not using it which is you don't have a reason to use it.
I for one decided to exclude AI out of my life as much as possible.
I think it's kind of telling that you didn't come up with the actual reason you're not using it which is you don't have a reason to use it.True. I really don't have an actual reason to use it. Everything I want in life, everything that truely matters to me, is achievable without the use of AI. This is why, for me, it is not "the killer feature" that organizations want to make it out to be.
It may sound conservative - and maybe it isIt isn't. AI slop, as it currently is, is purely a conservative mechanism. Hence why right-wingers are its biggest defenders.
There's a rising epidemic of people wanting results without putting in the work so that's why they think AI is so god-like.It was always like this though.

I think there are two distinct brands of AI hater and you don't want to group them togetherI dont doubt that AI has its uses, and maybe this is just me being unable to envision it but I cant at this stage agree with the people saying stuff like oh its going to completely change the IT industry, we wont even need coders anymore etc. Ive used it myself, with stuff like GitHub copilot, chatgpt canvas etc, while these are good enough tools today that I use them at my job, Ive seen plenty of cases where it just generates code using fake modules and commands which dont exist, even hackers have caught onto this are are creating malicious modules using names that are commonly invented by AI, so people copy AI code and get their PC compromised etc. unless Im misunderstanding, I dont see how this is an easily solvable problem due to how LLMs output based on prediction. And even if that problem was somehow solved, companies are going to want to hire IT people to actually do that since the middle manager or secretary isnt going to understand what to copy paste where or what to do if it doesnt work and the AI hits a roadblock. Not saying AI isnt incredibly helpful as is but I dont agree (at this stage) with claims that its going to make redundant entire IT depts etc
Group 1 is the "AI is useless, it will never go anywhere, why does anyone bother, lol" type of people. These people are, to put it bluntly, stupid. the world is going to be turned upside-down and they are willfully not going to see it coming
Group 2 is the "AI has potential to be dangerous, AI will upend social and culture structures before we can prepare, maybe we should chill on it a little" type of people. they have a pretty good point and I think the main question here is just how far does wanting to slow down AI go? because I am of the impression that doing anything remotely significant would take rather extreme measures
Not saying AI isnt incredibly helpful as is but I dont agree (at this stage) with claims that its going to make redundant entire IT depts etcthere are definitely some pretty wild predictions flying around but even if you don't try to look into the future, it's probably good enough as-is to unemploy like 1/3 - 1/2 of the industry once people get a bit better at using it. other industries (especially writing related ones - translation, proofreading, news) are going to take it even worse. there is a ton of space between the extremes of completely useless and able to do literally everything

It's just that some claims I've heard just seem too outlandish for me.
that said, I dunno if you replied to that feeling sort of defensive or if I'm just reading too much into it but despite being a bit skeptical of the competence of AI that is definitely not a Group1 post lol

Aside from the most basic of tasks it needs an impressive level of babysitting. But I'm the kind of person that expects my tasks to be done correctly the first time, having to go back and verify is just a layer of work I don't need.
I don't think it's a useful tool. It's the same thing with some people: you can't conceive that someone could *gasp* not need/want an ai assistant.
Tell me how it's going to transform society
In this evolving landscape, researchers have increasingly focused on understanding LLMs persuasive capabilities, i.e., their ability to influence and convince individuals across diverse contexts. Early studies on AI-driven persuasion have shown that LLMs can match human performance [59] or even surpass it [1012], including when dealing with highly divisive sociopolitical issues.
Notably, all our treatments surpass human performance substantially, achieving persuasive rates between three and six times higher than the human baseline. I

Although Columbias policy on AI is similar to that of many other universities students are prohibited from using it unless their professor explicitly permits them to do so, either on a class-by-class or case-by-case basis Lee said he doesnt know a single student at the school who isnt using AI to cheat.
After spending the better part of the past two years grading AI-generated papers, Troy Jollimore, a poet, philosopher, and Cal State Chico ethics professor, has concerns. Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate, he said. Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone elses.
Most of the writing professors I spoke to told me that its abundantly clear when their students use AI.... Still, while professors may think they are good at detecting AI-generated writing, studies have found theyre actually not. One, published in June 2024, used fake student profiles to slip 100 percent AI-generated work into professors grading piles at a U.K. university. The professors failed to flag 97 percent.
In the 5 months since we launched Character.AI, our users have sent over 2 billion messages! Our growth is accelerating the second billion entirely came in the last month. Active users spend on average over 2 hours daily interacting with our AI.
The bots are designed to absorb and process information as quickly as possible, which is why they prefer faster-loading sites that have been optimized for machines rather than human readers, according to Mamedov. Websites in general will evolve to serve primarily as data sources for bots that feed LLMs, rather than destinations for consumers, she said.
In early October 2024, a series of powerful hurricanes hit the southeastern U.S., leaving behind destruction and a surge in online activity. People turned to the web in droves to get real-time updates about weather conditions, shelter locations and relief efforts. However, rather than being met with clear and helpful information, many found themselves wading through a sea of AI-generated junk articles, hastily assembled social media posts and low-quality images that added to the confusion....
It has infiltrated nearly every corner of the web. Whether youre looking for product reviews, researching a topic for school or trying to follow the latest news, chances are youve encountered AI-generated content that offers little to no value. Social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok are also seeing a surge in AI-generated visuals, from fake celebrity endorsements to poorly crafted infographics that spread misinformation or sell low-quality products.
In the current state of AI it really depends on what you are trying to get it to do. I would want to know more about the tasks you are trying to get it to do.I know what AI is good for, and not--using a tool without knowing it's purpose is fools work after all. My problem is expectation: When I use a tool it should be able to do its job as described, perfectly. AI has yet to meet that standard. It's more or less a personal issue. For my personal life it's just another layer of things I need to verify. For my professional life, AI is simply just... Not useful for it as it stands, and what it offers is a barely discernible difference in the standard tools available(I do home renovation, plumbing, electrical work, etc) at a higher cost, usually.
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you only using it generate images?
