       AI machines aren’t ‘hallucinating’. But their makers are'Tech CEOs want us to believe that generative AI will benefit humanity. They are kidding themselves'A thought-provoking article by Naomi Klein.#AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ML #MachineLearning #LLM #ChatGPT https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/may/08/ai-machines-hallucinating-naomi-klein

       @garry I believe I have read much of what tech CEOs say about generative AI.“Generative AI will end poverty, they tell us. It will cure all disease. It will solve climate change. It will make our jobs more meaningful and exciting. It will unleash lives of leisure and contemplation, helping us reclaim the humanity we have lost to late capitalist mechanization. It will end loneliness. It will make our governments rational and responsive”Is not something I have read anyone say. Have you?

       @garry I’m a big fan of Naomi Klein, own two of her books. But without evidence (that I would be happy to read) on her claims I don’t believe she has a point there.

       @Mastokarl Many primers on socialism explain how the current capitalist system and its ethics don't work for the benefit of everyone, and especially not for poor people, and it's that system that will drive the development of AI. Evidence of this can be seen in the streets.Also she seems to be replying to other articles she's read, perhaps without a full understanding of how LLMs work, and her intellectual writing style obscures this.

       @garry agree completely on the point about the capitalist system. I don’t mind AIs learning from the vast information in the internet but I do mind a few corporations with the server capacity=money to do this monopolising on this key technology for the next decade.
