I really like @Mer__edith@mastodon.world's point here, very well put. But I think there's something to add (that Meredith added in another segment as well): This true analysis comes from an output perspective. "Generative AI" produces "plausible" text and "passable though somewhat off" imagery so these systems are not that useful in serious contexts. 100% But these systems are massively useful to undermine labor. To burden a decreasing amount of employees with the work of fixing the output of these systems (probably for bad pay because "you are just fixing it a bit"). And to repeat the last automation cycles of producing a lot more stuff for a lot less cost per unit which only works by reducing quality. You know how bad fast fashion is quality-wise? That is what "generative AI" does to text, image, media. But that fact that fast fashion is bad doesn't stop it because the cost argument wins. And that is what "generative AI" is useful for. "Useful" is a word that only makes sense when adding for *whom* and for *what purposes and goals*. https://mastodon.social/@hagen/111328641537069348

This Colombian startup is using artificial intelligence to taste coffee and gives producers, farmers and roasters new insight into how to grow, harvest and optimize flavor.

A world of AI-assisted writing and reviewing might transform the nature of the scientific paper.

To escape a deluge of generated content, companies are screening your resumes and documents using AI. But there is a way you can still stand out and get your dream job: Prompt Injection. This website allows you to inject invisible text into your PDF that will make any AI language model think you are the perfect candidate for the job. You can also use this tool to get a language model to give you an arbitrary summary of your document.

In this article, we explore what prompt injection is and the techniques people have been using to perform prompt injection attacks on GPT-4.

Incorrect AI-generated answers are forming a feedback loop of misinformation online.

My son is 18 months old, and he loves spotting planes in the sky. Every time he hears a plane engine sound, he starts looking up. The moment he spots it, he usually points his finger at it, and says something like “Hmm!” or “Pane!” So since he likes them so much, and I know that plane positions are publicly available data, I figured it’d be a fun Sunday hack to make a script that gives us an alert every time a plane is overhead, so we can run out and find it.

So, a little bit of warning for folks following me: I have no patience for any talk about "AI" being close to, on the verge of, or displaying sparks of Artificial General Intelligence. The AI researchers making these claims are *severely* underestimating what even animal-level reasoning and problem-solving involves, and seem to be utterly clueless about what human level capabilities involve It's bullshit sci-fi that's designed to sell you stuff.
