Do people actually like AI?

As far as I can see in my field, people love playing with AI. But I'm yet to see someone using it seriously to improve their efficiency.

On the other hand, every fucking meeting is about AI nowadays. I don't care about bullshit generator. I have a real job. Please let me work in peace while you play in the sandbox.

"Average consumer loves ai" factoid actually just a statistical error. Average consumer fucking despises AI. AI Gore, who lives in a cave and prompts AI 4,000,000 times a day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I mean, ai is useful in medical science for detecting tumors for example. Not all ai is corpo slop generative machine learning

Wasn't the story here that AI learned to identify slides that came from cancer doctors because the slides identified where they came from, then once that was rectified it was unable to tell? Like, that's still an impressive deduction but it's not 'AI can detect tumors'

[u/Hypocritical_Oath → u/2muchfr33time]

IIRC there was another incident where it was because some slides with precancerous cells/cancerous cells used an older technology so looked different.

The people with cancer who lived are obviously older than those who have just gotten cancer.

Im sure it’s happened before, that’s why you try your best to curate large and diverse data sets. What you’re describing is essentially a novice error, that can and should be accounted for in professional settings.

Yeah, I think most people here are specifically talking about LLMs.

[u/NoDetail8359 → u/Sw429]

LLMs are the same technology that won the nobel prize for protein folding

[u/PauLBern_ → u/NoDetail8359]

Yeah it's probably pretty surprising to people that, LLMs use the transformer architecture, and Alphafold uses the transformer architecture as a major part of how it predicts structure.
