Comment on AI Is Starting to Look Like the Dot Com Bubble
garyyo@lemmy.world 10 months agoFive years ago the idea that the turing test would be so effortlessly shattered was considered a complete impossibility. AI researchers knew that it was a bad test for AGI, but to actually create an AI agent that can pass it without tricks still was surely at least 10-20 years out. Now, my home computer can’t run a model that can talk like a human.
Being able to talk like a human used to be what the layperson would consider AI, now it’s not even AI, it’s just crunching numbers. And this has been happening throughout the entire history of the field. You aren’t going to change this person’s mind, this bullshit of discounting the advancements in AI has been here from the start, it’s so ubiquitous that it has a name.

I know, I just figured maybe if we could get past the “its not a REAL AI” bullshit and actually identify what about it is so “impossible” to them, maybe we could actually have a conversation about it.
Regardless, you’re correct. There’s no changing minds here. They’ll get dragged into the future whether they like it or not.
