[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 4170090, member: 35036"] AI is the new buzzword in marketting. Everything is AI, Artificial intelligence will make you rich, AI will reduce your workload, etc etc. Its all crap really. What semi legitimate AI we do have is still very much limited by its design, and the costs associated with that. For example: ChatGPT is technically artificial intelligence, however, it is not "intelligent" in the same means that you and I are intelligent. It is not sentient. It is, however, a program that has been exhaustively trained to use a program to string together the correct words to describe a very expansive data set. It works well, and has helped me recently with some stuff in school, but it has its shortcomings. For example, I use it to help generate outlines for my research. I can tell ChatGPT to "give me a timeline on the inventions of John Moses Browning" to which I receive: [ATTACH type="full"]432632[/ATTACH] Looks accurate, and likely is. But, I have caught it making errors, especially in math. But what I get is a solid basis to research for a presentation or paper, and some basic points that I can expound upon. For math, I can ask it some questions or give it a problem, asking for the steps and theory of how to solve said problem, and I can get the problem broken down for me into easy to understand and follow steps, where I do the math myself. Easier and better than asking my unhelpful professors for help. Is AI gonna take over the world? I doubt it. At the end of the day, its simply a dictation machine for most people. Is it hazardous for those of us who dont know how to differentiate reality from the digital world, or for those who don't want to take responsibility for making bad moral decisions (like AI controlled weapons). Fun bit of info, AI is expensive to implement. ChatGPT, a relatively simple AI, was "trained" by harnessing the power of a data center. GPT3.0 cost just a little under $4.6 million dollars to train.
