Comment on US slows plans to retire coal plants because of AI power usage
chuckleslord@lemmy.world 1 month agoYou could do that training… and the “AI” can print out some lines that have the same writing styles as the articles. Because that’s all LLMs can do. Don’t buy the hype, they’re just energy sucking predictive text bots. Nothing more. The whole thing is a dead end as far as finding the actual systems behind intelligence.

The first car didn’t even have a roof on it and good luck finding a gas station. The first computers took up entire buildings. 25 years ago we didn’t have broadband Internet, you had dialup.

No, it’s a dead end. Not immature. Not “a burgeoning technology’s with some kinks to iron out”. It’s the wrong proverbial tree to bark up. This is as good as this tech can ever get, which is why it’s being sold so hard right now. Because it’s turned into a grift to try and claw back the wasted R&D dollars.
