I wonder...

@Chip_Unicorn @inthehands

tbh, it's hella work to refactor in the /same/ language.

As long as #AI continues to routinely make up wrong answers (cutely referred to as #hallucinations because #lies involve intention, which AI lacks) via autocomplete, it is both foolish and irresponsible to use it for any seroius work.

It's not even cost-effective, as 40 hours of AI is orders of magnitude more costly than 40 hours of a team of developers.

This post by photographer Jingna Zhang resonates with me.

#AI art is devoid of humanity, intention, and backstory. It’s a shallow remix of human works, designed to be consumed and discarded, grinding human creation down into a sandy paste, to be re-extruded into grotesque displays. It’s the opposite of what makes art so valuable.

A Facebook post by Jingna Zhang. Shown is a photograph of a pale woman with closed eyes and dark red lips covered in flower petals. Next to it is a prompt: “Make her eyes open. Make the image very similar, from the the colors, composition, the tone, the feel, including the frozen eyebrows, make it as similar as possible.”, followed by an AI-generated facsimile that is similar, but with eyes open. The post reads: Someone passed my photo through OpenAI's new image model, and no matter their intentions being well-meaning, seeing this as the original artist just makes me feel like shit. I did this series when my work wasn't being as accepted and was viewed as neither commercial nor fine art enough for either worlds. So I shot in my apartment, with flowers one of the few props I could afford. And for this shoot I sat with a team and applied petals onto the model, one by one. The final work is a crystallization of that experience and memory of those times, it's proof of the days l'd lived. An Al didn't sit there placing petals onto my model, and it feels like an insult to the memory when people go "Al can do this!", like no actually, I did that.

‘the protective “messiness” in some jobs comes from the back-and-forth and unpredictability inherent in interacting with other people. There is a certain irony in the realisation that the mantra of rugged self-reliance and workflow optimisation common in Silicon Valley may have made tech roles more, not less fragile.’ #Writers #software #developers #LLM #AI

Baroness Kidron ‘does not believe that big players should ride roughshod over the creative industry to make the UK attractive to #AI companies, pointing out that some smaller UK companies pay for #copyright and “observe the laws of the land. We’ve got IP, a lot of big brands with very, very, very long histories. Why would we have a policy that uniquely benefits a handful of players outside the UK?”’

Value creation.

Between Gamestop taking debt to buy crypto to prop up the stock, and X inverting into xAI to protect his debt holders (using one credit card to pay off the other), it's a big week for value creation. Imagine if interest rates were even higher...or if real assets were at stake. 🤯

In other words: If you want people to get health care or the like, they cannot get it this way, because it is against these roles'n'goals.

Another example:
#AI—or more precisely, it's current form #narrowAI—has the primary task to *guess* something. It has gotten so good at guessing in some subjects that it can be mistaken for knowledge.

"We will not get off to a ‘clean’ start. In many cases, older systems are poorly documented and not well understood. Most of our applications have hooks and tentacles in many other applications – some are necessary, others are not; still others are not understood. In other cases, systems that should be integrated are not. This means front-line technicians must become experts in navigating among the various systems to accomplish a single business outcome."
