I’ll be honest, I looked at this with the intention of poking holes, but that was a surprisingly thorough article on researchers doing a year-long study trying to figure out practical uses for AI. I for one am still not convinced there’s a practical or truly ethical use at the moment, but I’m glad to see researchers trying. Their results were decidedly mixed, and I still think all the trade-offs don’t work in our favor at the moment, but this was a surprisingly balanced article with a fair amount of subtly on an issue than needs to be examined critically. They admitted that hallucinations are still a huge wildcard that no one knows how to deal with, which is rare. The headline is dumb, but because of how skeptical and distrustful I am of this massive AI bubble, I’m glad there are still researchers putting in the work to figure this shit out.
