Coffeezilla asks: “Is the LAM a Scam? Down the rabbit hole we go.”

Pretty much everything AI is a scam, I mean it has its uses but isn’t exactly as claimed yet. Pretty much every non phone AI gadget I’ve seen so far definetly is a scam.
If you think that “pretty much everything AI is a scam”, then you’re either setting your expectations way too high, or you’re only looking at startups trying to get the attention of investors.
There are plenty of AI models out there today that are open source and can be used for a number of purposes: Generating images (stable diffusion), transcribing audio (whisper), audio generation, object detection, upscaling, downscaling, etc.
Part of the problem might be with how you define AI… It’s way more broad of a term than what I think you’re trying to convey.
I think it’s becoming fair to label a lot of commercial AI “scams” at this point, considering the huge gulf between the hype and the end results.
Open source projects are different due to their lack of commercialisation.
Sure, but don’t let that feed into the sentiment that AI = scams. It’s way too broad of a term that covers a ton of different applications (that already work) to be used in that way.
And there are plenty of popular commercial AI products out there that work as well, so trying to say that “pretty much everything that’s commercial AI is a scam” is also inaccurate.
We have:
Suno’s music generation
NVidia’s upscaling
Midjourney’s Image Generation
OpenAI’s ChatGPT
Etc.So instead of trying to tear down everything and anything “AI”, we should probably just point out that startups using a lot of buzzwords (like “AI”) should be treated with a healthy dose of skepticism, until they can prove their product in a live environment.
I find there’s 4 kinds of folks talking about AI.
There’s folks who think it’s as amazing as all the tech firms tell us:
- And we’re all gonna die
Or
- And life will be amazing
Then there’s folks who think AI is hype whack bananas
- And think it’s a scam.
And lastly,
- The folks who see that we’ve already changed life as we know it with AI. That there’s still massive potential, but folks in categories 1 and 2(, and 3,) are all kinda nuts.
4 gang.
I use chat gpt occasionally. It’s not a scam, it’s useful for what I need it to do. I’m just not fooled by the notion that these LLM know factual data or can do much more than generate text. If you accept that, LLMs are pretty darn useful.
Artificial, yes. Intelligent, no.
I am not surprised that it’s just ChataGPT in a box lol, not at all.
Clueless investors will never stop enabling obvious tech start-up scams.
BUT THE LAM! People reported on the “large action model” like it was real. It always sounded like bullshit, in this case. Even if they were selling ideas they feel are obvious and inevitable.

The scammer even looks high AF every time he does an interview. This guy is a fucking joke.
