My Stance on Generative AI

random header for dramatic effect:

this blog post will be pro-AI.. in some capacity, if you are tone-deaf to other peoples' opinions, please click off. k thx.

I am assuming most of the people that follow me are pro-AI.. or I'm blind and that is not the case. anyway.

I don't suck at writing, you just suck at reading. my words are too intense for your feeble minds, I'm sharecropper

LLMs (text -> text)

llms are insane, I find it kinda crazy a ton of questions are able to be answered in seconds based off of just probability (heavy oversimplification, fight me; I'll bite you) and being fed tons of data from the internet (albeit.. that can be bad, e.g. MechaHitler)

though hindsight is 20/20 and that is kind of expected.. jokes on LLMs, I have object permanence unlike them..

I think..

Pros

insanely smart for what they are

super efficient as time has gone on

Cons

hallucinations (act of models making up information)

influenced with bias no matter what

can't properly connect information, like we can

AI "Art" (text -> image/video)

here is where generative AI kind of loses me.. there is no point in generative images or video. all it does it impact actual creatives and our already fragile media and legal landscape with misinformation and disinformation.

Pros

cool in terms of how it works, not cool in terms of it working. wish it didn't work. can we go back to will smith eating spaghetti?

Cons

the average consumer is less likely to outsource a commission to an actual, ya'know human, creative. meaning they make less money than they already do

mis/dis-information

next are random things I decided to put in this random stream of consciousness (this blog post is actually entirely generated by AI, don't believe me /j).. it's 1 AM, and this is my blog. fuck off.

"AI should be illegal"

take your meds

AI is harming education

yeah, y'all just do your school work.

it's not that fucking hard to write essays, you just have a skill issue.

go read a book or smth.

disclaimer: not at all targeted to those with learning disabilities <3

AI for accessibility

awesome.

if you expected more words here, from a 1 AM rambling post about stuff people already know about, please finish the blog post for yourself here: https://chatgpt.com

AI for therapy

LLMs can't really offer emotional therapy in most cases, especially really emotionally deep cases. if you're in need of therapy, and able to afford a human therapist, please consider a human :D

^ my answers are included in the replies to this post, if you're curious. which you aren't. but since I can't be told that through this post, I'll believe you love me enough to read
