AIs do not hallucinate. They do not think or feel or experience. They are math.
Your brain is a similar model, exponentially larger, that is under constant training from the moment you exist.
Neural-net AIs are not going to meet their hype. Tech bros have not cracked consciousness.
Sucks to see what could be such a useful tool get misappropriated by the hype machine for like cheating on college papers and replacing workers and deepfaking porn of people who aren’t willing subjects because it’s being billed as the ultimate, do-anything software.
You don't need it to be conscious to replace people's jobs, however poorly, tho. The hype of disruption and unemployment may yet come to pass, if the electric bills are ultimately cheaper than the employees, capitalism will do its thing.
Fun fact, though.
Some business that use AI for their customer service chatbots have shitty ones that will give you discounts if you ask. I bought a new mattress a year ago and asked the chatbot if they had any discounts on x model and if they'd include free delivery, and it worked.
That just shows you how bad most people are at doing their jobs. And that's exactly why they will lose them.
