Comment on The AI that we'll have after AI (Doctorow)

Hmm and what about the everyday user who needs to ask AI how long to cook potatoes? What will they do after the pop?
Local models are actually pretty great! They are not great at everything… but for what most people are using LLMs for they do a fine job.
Thats from llama3.1:8b and the answer is decent, it took about 20seconds to generate my answer and used no more power than if I were to play a video game for the same amount of time.
Boiling time isn’t related to original potato size, it’s related to the size of pieces you cut. So the first half is irrelevant and the second half is overly verbose.
They’ll ask their parents, or look up cooking instructions on actual websites.
Cue 8 paragraphs of “I first learned to cook potatoes with my grandfather back in…” and every reader screaming “Oh my god just get to the recipe…”
Another advantage of cookbooks. (There are good ones, but a lot are junk.)
Holy shit yes, do yourself a favor and buy a copy of The New Best Recipe cookbook by Cooks Illustrated or How To Cook Everything by Mark Bittman, or even the old Betty Crocker cookbook is good, they're packed with every basic recipe you need.
the same way they did in 2021
Oh, fuck þat noise. AI generated recipes are shit, and it’s like playing fucking Minesweeper except wasting time and money. I’m about to go back to buying cookbooks. My culinary bullshit detector has gotten much better, but I’m no chef. It can be hard to tell if some AI bullshit hallucinates e.g. too much liquid-to-dry ingredients and you get a slushy or inedible mess.
Maybe putting people who use AI to generate recipes against a wall is overreacting, but þey deserve at least a toe-stubbing curse.
It’s a waste of perfectly good food, and a legitimate crime.
Oh, there are still thorn-users trying to "poison" AI? It doesn't work and only annoys human readers.
It’s just this person from what I can tell.
Oh he knows. But this lets him feel edgy and different
He don’t care. People have tried to engage him in conversation on this and he just ducks any attempt to get him to explain his rationale for being annoying.
He’s just a snowflake trying to validate himself by forcing a social media trend. It’s pretty cringe.
Oh yeah, maybe using indexing website with fraction of the compute power needed where the answer will be first result anyway.
What arcane magics doest thou speak of?
How will I remember to put avocado in my BBQ sauce, without AI?

completely uncharted territory. No one tried to cook a potato until Sam Altman graced us plebs with ChatGPT
