The term artificial intelligence is broader than many people realize. It doesn’t mean human-level consciousness or sci-fi-style general intelligence - that’s a specific subset called AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). In reality, AI refers to any system designed to perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. That includes everything from playing chess to recognizing patterns, translating languages, or generating text.

Large language models fall well within this definition. They’re narrow AIs - highly specialized, not general - but still part of the broader AI category. When people say “this isn’t real AI,” they’re often working from a fictional or futuristic idea of what AI should be, rather than how the term has actually been used in computer science for decades.

I find it much easier to imagine an AI VC than an AI plumber.

AI and LLM are not synonymous terms.

What do you actually get out of being rude to strangers online for no reason? We’ve never even interacted before. You just show up in a space that’s meant to be about good vibes, and your first instinct is to insult someone - not just for being wrong, but even more for admitting it.

It’s Silky Big Boy

Yeah, Silky Big Boy

This only applies to videos as far as I know.

edit: apparently not

Yeah. Silky Big Boy. It’s a really good saw

I got a folding Silky saw for christmas. That thing cuts almost like a chainsaw.

I don’t see how even the way Twitter does it is any worse than not having such system at all.

People used to talk about slaves in exactly the same way.

Our AI assistants might not be conscious yet, but there’s a good chance they will be someday. Treating them with basic decency from the start just seems like the right thing to do. The way I talk to ChatGPT isn’t all that different from how I talk to people - and I don’t feel the need to switch modes just because I’ve rationalized that something isn’t deserving of respect.

I think this is great. One of the main reasons I’ve been paying for the subscription is the limited memory of the free version. Now, the more I use it, the more it remembers about me and references things I’ve mentioned in past conversations. Sure, there are potential privacy concerns, but the same goes for commenting on Lemmy - I don’t tell ChatGPT anything I wouldn’t be comfortable sharing here.

This is exactly my issue with online activists, especially. Nobody has ever changed their mind because they were called names or moralized for their behavior - it usually just pushes them in the opposite direction. It doesn’t matter whether someone is morally on the right side of history; if they’re being a jerkface about it, I’d argue they’re doing more harm than good. A regular omnivore is less harmful, in my view, than an omnivore who actively hates vegans.

I knew this comment was going to be here so I went digging and here we are.

Something I’d personally love to be able to do is to ask it to recreate an existing tv series but according to my personal preferences by removing stuff from them that I don’t like and adding things that I do. The Walking Dead for example wouldn’t even need that much tweaking to make it actually good. Another thing I’d love to use it for is to create new seasons for finished series such as Yellowstone.

This makes me uncomfortable. I prefer horses without mustache.

so you can just move on

Oh, you’re highly underestimating my capability to get stuck in the little things

Maybe this is one of those autism things again but I’m really annoyed by this headline format and I wish articles would stop using it.

I don’t have a boss, nor an office job. Stop assuming that everyone does.
