    It can’t replace people. There are numerous examples where that has been attempted and it worked horribly. There are also plenty of reports confirming that it has not improved productivity much (if at all). However, you do understand how AI works, right? Not only is it incredibly inefficient, it also requires input data to generate that output you like so much. If it does replace an entire profession, then that would mean that everything regarding that profession stagnates. AI, by definition, cannot create anything that’s actually new. For example, if I were to release an entirely new programming language, it would have absolutely no idea how to use it.

    Have you personally used Mythos?

    My man, how many new models have claimed to be groundbreaking and etc, only to then prove to be marginally better?

    If not, I’m not confident in your assessment, especially given your self-admitted bias in this area.

    Ok then, be confident by actually reading studies about AI performance and its real impact in a work environment.

    It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

    I understand it very well. And, being a programmer and an electronics engineer, I do not fear at all for my salary. As I’ve already said, even if the mythical perfect model is released at some point, the technology itself is not economically viable. There are also numerous reports about how unsustainable the current business model is and how wildly expensive it would be if you actually had to pay for the computing cost. There’s a reason why the whole circular funding scheme exists too. This is a giant bubble that’s going to either pop or slowly deflate but it will not survive.

    I’m getting “pissy” about ignorant, uninformed laymen repeating false headlines and promoting a technology that is actively killing the planet, worsening the lives of everyone (even more if you’re near a datacenter) and preparing to cause unprecedented harm to the global economy. Again, you’re promoting something built to enshitify your life. It’s incredibly dumb.
