AI has completely changed the face of tech. From ChatGPT, to now GPT 4o to all sorts of chatbots. But most of it is.. well, useless. AI today has recreated problems that we got rid of over 40 years ago and the chatbot epidemic seems to not be stopping anytime soon. But we are starting to see how we can build AI that is truly useful, and not just a marketing buzzword

As a science and medical editor, I’m kinda horrified by how many peer reviewed medical papers are obviously written by AI and not even checked- hallucinated citations, etc. it’s getting to the point that scientific journals will be more misinformation that information. And no one will even know what’s true.

Google and Meta searches are getting worse with chatbots. They often cannot even find simple things that a traditional search does well.

I don't have any problem with ai. I just have a problem with ai EVERYTHING now. You can tell that half the articles and ads you come across were put into a prompt. MY Youtube feed gets bombarded with faceless ai rant slide shows. The annoying thing is that the same "NFT" pushers are the ones posting tutorials on how to make 6 figures a day using ai and it's getting really lame.

AI is when you type a novel into a prompt for a thing you could have done with 3 clicks yourself.

For me I don't care whether it's a chatbot or not. The more important problem of AI (LLM) is hallucination of the information that generated. User have to be doublecheck the information, and sometimes it's a time consuming process. Probably get nothing right in this response.

[RenoReborn]

Grammarly before AI: We're a better spellcheck :)
Grammarly after AI: We are a spellcheck that incorporates AI to.... uhhhh.... we have AI now

[javierpazsedano]

I would add: Using LLM for something productive is even worse than a command line, because the command line is complex yes, but at least it is predictable and follows a well defined logic. LLMs don't.

[gabrielebianchi]

Finally someone who said that!
Quite frankly the think I hate about AI is there are a lot of “bullshitters” and grifters that clogging our news, video feeds and advertise garbage “AI” content.
It seem to me just one of the buzzwords like crypto, metaverse, NFT, defi.
At this point I don’t want to hear it anymore, just want to see a functional product.

Every new innovation turns into a trend, get's abused, oversaturated and then finally reduced you only the best players.

[dankprole]

I remember 5 years ago when everyone was convinced the customers wanted chatbots. They want humans and/or good search and clear layout. Management desperately wants to replace workers so they push ahead anyway.

[JonDaiello]

Usually, "a chatbot is not the right way of interacting with computers." Well said. This idea of invisible AI is exactly what I’ve been thinking about for a while now. Great job on this one. Thanks for sharing.

[Snakyy]

We were already building invisible AI that works in the background before the hype began.

[turtlec]

Reminds me of that annoying Microsoft Paperclip "would you like help with that?" - F OFF!

[FXRunner]

Looks like I am not the only one that sees "AI" (actually just an advanced search engine) as the next hype gimmick now that the metaverse is dead. I use zero AI products as they tend to dampen skills that I want to keep sharp, like reading comprehension, coherent writing and thoughtful analysis.

"Today you can open the command line and do everything you can do on your computer with it, but nobody does this" laughs in programmer

[DrLimeGreen]

I've been saying for the last few years that i genuinely don't understand the obsession with the chat bots. They're genuinely not helpful for anything but the most basic common knowledge, and often times will give you blatantly wrong answers with complete confidence. They're nothing but liability when doing anything critical, and a novelty at best when not. Spotify recently added a feature where they have an AI voice mispronounce the artist I'm listening too when i open the app and resume playing. What is the appeal? It's a (bad) solution looking for a problem. Even the AI art, which people want to be use for production value without the cost a human artist: It just looks samey, generic, and cheap. People see AI art and think "lazy, cheap, one man production". The opposite of the desired effect.

[mirijanyavo]

Programmer here, wtf do you mean there's a better way to do it than the command line? The old fashioned dumb command line is still the best way to do it.

[auriuman]

<edited to update below, no change to this comment but change in final answer> So far my experience is to generate a bunch of crap answers to people's requests, they then take that answer as "the computer said this..." And computers are never wrong... Even though they are all the time. Especially now that the general public normies do not know the difference between a data entry from a human (sometimes wrong) and an AI GPT answer from a custom trained database (often wrong).

I'll go with useless. We're training computers to make mistakes based off the mistakes we as humans are making. People are worried about Terminator scenarios, lol. I'm worried about dumbing down scenarios - the Idiocracy.

[mzr]

actually, without being a fanboy, that sounds like the original apple ideology is needed, where you take an experience and create the tech around it, not the opposite. great video

[saarintsorry]

I had not considered that we were reverting to CLI again. That’s funny and a great point about the limitations of the system interface. And the other big takeaway was how each company will hoard their data and not play nice other chatbots. I think we should just use chatbot for LLMs. Great video!
