"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

ai has been used in health care for like 15 years. it's not the same ai as the current bubble is about.
It literally says "How academic research can be simulated", "why some models are more scalable than others", and "Which publications are practically useful, and which ones aren't"
This is not ambiguous, it's talking about trash chatbot GenAI and LLMs used to write and summarize papers.
When I said in the title these assbots have killed people because of their use in healthcare, I was not exagerating. Physicians have been misinformed leading to punctured arteries then disability or death.
It says "stimulated", not "simulated".
It actually says "how academic work can be stimulated".. not simulated.
That's fair, but I still think the wording here does not imply normal learning machine use and that Oxford Publishing would have been careful to clarify such.
...how did you get llms from that? simulation is part of academic research, all machine learning systems use models, and it could just as well refer to useful "for the purposes of the simulation".
was there more info of the event?
We live in a very brief but ongoing time period where AI means LLMs to the vast majority of people, and if Oxford weren't shilling like so many other higher education institutions they would have been careful about their wording.
that's an assumption. it's a marketing term and they want people te come to their seminar, of course they would use it.
They're definitely not getting people like me or any reputable physicians or medical researchers to go to their seminar this way. This is the equivalent to naming a movie "Melania", imo.
we're a very small niche here. talking to people in my vicinity gives an entirely different perspective on ml tools than does talking to the professionals i work with. most randos are neutral to vaguely positive on the subject, though not enough to spend money on it.
Lmao, fuck off mate. Why are you trying to normalize AI and Slopping in the Fuck_AI community?
