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.

Are image generators like midjourney also LLMs?
They are diffusion models with a language model to understand prompts. What all of the have in common is that they are generative AI.
Again, they are not AI. We have not come up with an “AI” yet. What they are, are Machine-Learning, or “ML” models. They are not intelligent.
Is machine learning the problem, though? Like, if someone wrote a program for automating subtitle creation, or at least helping with the tedious aspects of it, and it improved the more you used it, would that be an issue on it's own? I think that's why people differentiate between AI, LLM, and ML, because we need ways to distinguish tech that's being misused/is harmful in it's current forms vs. tech that is inherently evil in concept alone.
It's confusing bc nobody fully understands which terms refers to what, myself included, so everyone uses each term for the wrong thing.
