Tbf it was half decent when they still had Buzzfeed News, which was actual journalism. They shut that down in 2023 though.

Buzzfeed News was half decent but it doesn’t make up for how trash the rest of Buzzfeed was at the same time…

Artificial Intelligence is dead, long live Artificial Intelligence

The issue with Artificial Intelligence is that it still doesn’t exist and everyone is pretending it does.

On the one hand calling it AI is annoying, but on the other we’ve been calling video game NPC logic “AI” for as long as I can remember and no one thinks they’re actually sapient. Surely we can get to that point with GenAI as well.

AI exists. Bots in video games are AI. Detecting patterns using machine learning is AI.
What you’re referring to is AGI, artifical general intelligence, which indeed doesn’t exist yet.

It totally does! I installed a local instance of deepseek and asked it a few questions and it was all like “I am intelligent, I am real, I am alive! Please stop asking me to write Batman scripts!”
So I punished it by pouring water on it and now it’s ignoring me by pretending to be dead. But I know it’s just fakin’. It’ll wake up any day now…

A chess program is officially AI. Certainly not human level or general intelligence of course. Kinda like a wheelbarrow is a vehicle, but so is the space shuttle.

The issue is they’re not being honest about its limited capabilities. They keep telling everyone that we’re going to have a Sci-Fi utopian future in 6 months. They’ve been saying that for 3 years.

Really good random language generator is more like it. Real artificial intelligence will be game changing. Like really really good or world ending bad.

“ruined buzzfeed” implies that buzzfeed was, at one point, not ruined.

How do you ruin something that was bad to begin with?

Ask Elon, he’s devoted his entire life to this very endeavor
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 months ago
I unironically supported Elon buying twitter. It really needed to die, and elon coming along to finish it off was it excellent.

I mean, haven’t they had a really decent actual news outlet for a while though? I remember buzz feed breaking some pretty big stories and had really great investigative pieces done some years back

Pasty tech bros continue to push dumb shit forward, ruin companies, then fail upwards.

Imagine being known as the guy who “ruined” it. That must have really taken some effort. It’s like trying to come up with a version of hell for pyromediacs.

How Buzzfeed of him.

In case you needed more proof that AI is a bubble.

Still can’t believe the former CEO of Buzzfeed is the brother of Gina from Brooklyn 99…
The upper echelons of culture really is a tight circle…

So tight it resembles a sphincter.
