The AI field is more than just LLM and generative AI. Like models that can detect cancer in scans are not LLMs or generative AI.
AI is here to serve humanity, that’s where the value is, not to serve only a select few.
Mostly right now it is here to torture humanity with low quality slop. It literally can’t do the things people claim it is capable of doing, no matter for whose benefit. It is just that some people benefit even if the output quality is significantly lower as long as they have enough people convinced that it is a viable replacement.

Yeah, but Palantir is based on using AI in Saudi Arabia to execute people for being gay. Proof? The computer said so.
And in any other country it boils down to variations of that principle. Justify oppression, discrimination, torture and murder by the “impartial” decision of the computer algorithm fine tuned to make exactly that decision.

Mainly the purpose of those is to diffuse responsibility.

As with everything it’s grey rather than black and white. It can do the things people claim it can do but only up to a point. All of the people claiming it can run a business on its own selling you a lie, but that’s not to say that it can’t do some tasks within a business.
For example it can code pretty effectively, as long as the application is relatively small in total file size, anything large it tends to get lost in.

As long as you are okay with 95% of your code not doing what you intend it to do while using libraries that don’t exist sure. Otherwise it really can’t. I am a programmer myself and have quite frankly wasted many more hours than I should have giving it the benefit of the doubt on that one and it just produces utter horseshit as code.

When I tried it it was all right, and it certainly didn’t try and use APIs that don’t exist (I suspect it’s very language dependant), however I also wouldn’t say it was particularly spectacular.
This was using gdscript to make a basic character controller. But in the entire game, fat chance.

Sure, if you make something that likely has literally dozens of copies of the exact thing in the training data it can probably do well.
