My Comments to Sinclair Davidson's (IPA) article in Crickey News about the announced AI policy:
"NOT ALL AIs are GenAI CHATBOTS.
There is an erroneous tendency, in our news outlets, to lump all coded AI systems under the single "AI" label which not only confuses the issues and problems to be delt with, but also fail to inform the public (voters and consumers) on the different software applications and their requirements. Most of this conflation is quite obviously deliberate and only serves the interests of the 'overvalued' stock holders in LLM-based General Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) systems -- I call these software apps 'text regurgitating machines" making full use of the GIGO paradigm.So much marketing hype has been unleashed on the world by a congery of dubious tech speculators that, combined with their propensity to champion a debunked (2008) Neoliberal economic system, are set to impose their ponzie scheme on the gullible and the unprepared to pocket the profits -- at least until their bubble bursts. LLMs (Large Language Models) and their requirement for mega-sized storage and computing power (datacentres) are surreptitiously riding the technology wave of other, very useful, tightly curated LLMs used by task specific AI applications which do not require the massive storage and computing hardware that most news outlest is talking about -- including your article.
The fourth Estate has a social licence to inform society, but ought not to parot the propaganda lies of wealthy individuals set to pillage and rape the world for their own self interests. At the very least, Crickey ought to require clarity in its published material, and in this case, ensure that clear differences between various AI systems are identified before selecting one of them to report or comment on.
I am an avid supporter of independent news and its mission to decorticate all issues of public interest."
Can't expect much else from the IPA.
