for the average Joe (people outside of lemmy) it’s hard to be positive towards ai when it increases the price of their general purpose compute. it’s also difficult to be supportive of it when all it does is inaccurately plagiarize and threaten to take away peoples jobs (although we know it can’t really replace anyone as the tech isn’t reliable and needs constant attention)

It has not done enough damage if it is still promoted.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Maybe do less harm with it. May less people actively dislike it then.

Yea, my next ideo cadd will ne a Radeon. If I can ever afford to upgrade my PC again. Fuck AI.

Clearly not enough damage has been done since Nvidia’s stock price is still in the stratosphere.

To whom?
orclev@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The Nvidia PR team. They keep trying to spin more data centers and even more of the US GDP being gobbled up by slop generation as some kind of consumer win but nobody is buying it and their whining is starting to annoy Jensen.

This is toxic positivity…

… to our share holders.
And by “damage” we mean unrealized potential profits.

There is no topic more botted than the AI discussion and I see Lemmy isn’t immune.

It’s clearly a critical article.

It’s also clearly not the only writing on the subject on the entire Internet.

Seems like a standard that isn’t possible to meet. If there was a reliable way to detect bots we wouldn’t be in this situation where bots dominate social media.
I can tell you that the bot tactic of promoting outrage and vitriol is well known and the topic of AI has some of the most toxic people participating. Always bringing insults, fallacy laden ‘arguments’ and downvote spamming.
That doesn’t happen on other topics where people disagree, even in this community.
We know bots are a big problem on social media. We know the tactics that they use, they infiltrate both extremes and use those positions to sow division and anger and, in my experience, this is the topic that receives the most comments fitting that tactic.

If he wants to ease peoples minds of AI then he should be advocating to regulate it so we can know it’s not being used in harmful ways. Regulation and transparency (to a degree).

Jensen Huang? More like Jensen Slop.
Soleos@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Jesus, someone replace Jensen with an AI already. The bots could generate much more nuanced and empathetic responses. /SARCASM

Oh look, man coming from a fascist refuge of yore happens to be a fascist and a sociopath, what are the odds huh?!

Remember guys, Jensen Huang is suicidal. The murder allegations are fake. He suddenly gained a conscience one night and ended himself because of all he’s done.

Maybe if the majority agrees on something, you should pay attention instead of doubling down. We know this tech is to put us all broke and give your class of rich fucks the best life at our expense.
Eat the rich.

On a personal level, I like AI. I use it regularly as a tool to handle mundane tasks. I also have friends who use it successfully as an artistic tool. I’m aware that this platform tends to dislike that kind of usage, and that’s fine.
Bandwagon behavior is a serious issue on platforms like Reddit and Lemmy, and that comes with the territory.
However, the claim that this negativity has meaningfully harmed AI adoption is nonsensical. If this person genuinely believes that AI has been hurt, even slightly, by negative online discourse, then he is clearly out of touch with reality. All available data points indicate the opposite.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
what mundane tasks do you find it useful for?
so far the only useful thing I’ve found (outside of being another search engine) is processing image to text, but I’m pretty sure it’s just using existing OCR tools to do that (not sure, I haven’t used it much because I only needed to do it once like a year ago)
mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I use it primarily as a text editor for grammar checking and for analyzing confusing or poorly structured text. I also use it as a search engine quite frequently. I can ask direct questions and receive the information I want, presented in a way that suits my needs. I have used it to help construct responses to inquiries from several companies I work with. It is particularly effective at generating corporate-style responses that appeal to middle management, which has been genuinely useful over the past couple of years. I no longer have to sit and overanalyze how to phrase emails. What used to take a significant amount of time and mental effort is now handled efficiently. In that regard, it has been extremely helpful.
At the end of the day it’s just a tool and a tool is only as good as its user. I work in the repair industry and I utilize very expensive high quality tools and I also have some very very cheap ones because they have some unique use cases only they are suited for.
I also use OCR on my phone every single day. It’s really great for copying and pasting model and serial numbers and doing very quick basic searches. Although I find this to be more of a convenience than anything else.
Where AI features have failed specifically on my phone is the text-to-speech and the autocorrect for typing, especially on the Google keyboard it oftentimes tries to guess what the best words would be and it fails miserably most of the time.

nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
it’s not doing any damage at all. look at the fucking goddamn industry right now. holy crap man. it’s being adopted like crazy.
any company could use it well enough that they can pretend that they don’t use it and then the problem is solved how about that
