Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate
ysjet@lemmy.world 7 months agoThe problem is that there’s basically no way to use it responsibly.
I think there is. Letting the actual professionals guide, instead of the money people is a big step.
Something like McDonnell, and later Boeing, basing all decisions on economic short gains, instead of engineering criteria.
Bean counters shouldn't make decisions.
The problem is, who do you define as professionals? I’m a professional software engineer. I argue that there is no responsible way to use AI at the moment- it uses too many resources for a far too worthless result. Everything useful that an AI can do is currently better (and cheaper) to do another way, save perhaps live transcription.
Do you define Sam Altman as a professional? Because his guidance wants the entire world to give up 10% of the worldwide GDP to his company (yes, seriously!) He’s clearly touched in the head, or on drugs. Should we follow his advice?

It helped me rewrite a program with different criteria, and it was much faster. I also read everything it wrote and told it what corrections to make. It is good for speed. It also taught me a coding trick or two. It is definitely not reliable, but can help a bit.
