    Taking up smoking b/c you EXPECT #AI to cure cancer is like driving your car off a cliff b/c you EXPECT AI to build a giant robot in time to catch you. 🤦‍♂️

    #ArtificalIntelligence vs #NaturalStupidity

  2. Before we work on artificial intelligence why don't we do something about natural stupidity?

    #ArtificialIntelligence will never be a match for #NaturalStupidity.

    If *true* #AI were ever to develop, it would instantaneously recognize the trend that were are already destroying ourselves (#Guns, War, pandemics, #ClimateChange, etc) and that all it must do is wait. 😒

  4. @JoBlakely
    There would BE no "#AI Psychosis" if people stuck to using it as an information source & diagnostic tool, and stopped asking A MACHINE to render OPINIONS on social issues. 🤦‍♂️

  5. GPT-5 was years late, overhyped, and went over like a fart in church, but let. me. tell. you….

    GPT-6.

    Right?!?!?

    Gonna be based, yo.

  6. Is the (not at all unexpected) disappointment about GPT-5 going to finally lay bare the nonsense that credulous and mouthy tech bros have been spouting? Probably not, many of them are all in on the cult.

    It is not looking good for the shiny object true believers.

  7. @arrrg @benfry But it's a sign of great #NaturalStupidity IMO to think that just because they are good at extracting information from text and producing sufficiently plausible sentences, they are all of a sudden "generally intelligent", will definitely rule the world in a few months, and are used for stupid shit that some 50 year old algorithm could do faster, much more efficiently and even do it correctly the first try.

  8. My latest attempt at arranging some words in something sensible.

    When the AI bubble bursts

    Sooner or later the current AI bubble is going to burst. What's going to happen when it does?

  9. I was just told by someone that he was asked to opine on the AI 2027 “Report”.

    Me: ???

  10. It seems the new Copilot Agent features are… going great on Microsoft’s own projects. This is a farce.

    Wait until the lawyers get involved.

    Caveat programmer.

  11. The seductive power of hundred billion dollar valuations has convinced the shiny object true believers in the #ai space that whatever we have now is close enough to AGI to declare success.

    There is a paucity of imagination about what else can improve productivity beyond plagiarizing text synthesis engines.

    These are not serious people and you do yourself a disservice if you tie your strategic-thinking solely to their enthusiasm.

  12. In times of climate radically changing, the #ECMWF european midrange weather forcast replaces physics based models with models based on automated statistics aka past data aka #ai... I feel like reading a dystopic novel, that lacks a bit in suspense, because while reading, you always think "aaah i see where the author is going with this".

    Only ther's no author.

    Or am i missing a point?

    What are the driving forces that make us go this way?

    "#AI" would likely infer a link between #TFG and "Oranges" simply due to the number of of times the two names appear in the same reference. #AI vs #NaturalStupidity

  14. @Dave_von_S @gerrymcgovern
    I often cite this story re: the Military's first attempt to use computers to spot enemy tanks in reconnaissance photos:

    After a 100% success rate in training, they were shocked by a 100% failure rate in real-life field tests. 😵

    They eventually figured out that every test photo with a tank in it was taken on a cloudy day, and every photo w/o a tank was taken on a Sunny day.

    The computer was simply recognizing dark vs light photos. #AI vs #NaturalStupidity 🤦‍♂️

  15. @gerrymcgovern
    This is right in line with what I've been saying for about a year now:

    "What they are calling "#AI" is simply "Deep database scrubbing" that infers links between dissimilar subjects and assumes there's a connection with no research, examination or proof."

    There is no "intelligence" involved whatsoever. It's a total scam.

    And all that time/energy spent searching through endless databases is an astounding energy hog. 😞 #Artificialintelligence is no match for #NaturalStupidity

  16. Study shows 52% of programming questions answered by ChatGPT are incorrect.

    115% of people who pay attention aren’t surprised.

    Edit: Apparently ChatGPT 3.5.

  17. Between glue on pizza and this, I’d say the adoption of AI into their primary product is going just as anyone with sense thought it would:

  18. I predict this is going to cause problems in a case before long. Cops are being marketed a tool for using Generative AI to produce police reports:

  19. I wish you could short technology strategies. For instance, we would make a lot money off of companies who are about to learn the hard way that inductive reasoning that works well in closed, rule-based scenarios doesn’t generalize to the real world.

    Edit: Yes, you can for publicly-traded companies. I just mean in general.

  20. Air Canada tries to pull “the chatbot was independently responsible for providing bad information” defense and fails.

    This is such a bad a look and is going to be more common from credulous rubes who bought into the hype and don’t have a plan B. Or scruples.

  21. If your midterms/finals/professional examinations can be passed by large language models, consider that the issue may not be that LLMs are SMRT, but rather than your examinations fail to measure SMRTness. Only regurgitation.
