All of you here that hate AI and have a negative sentiment towards it are wrong.
There is nothing wrong with AI.
You’re simply using it wrong, it’s a skill issue.
If people didn’t have this skill issue, like they did with Google when it first came out, then people would not have a problem with AI.
Your comment implies the issue with AI is people misunderstanding it, while ignoring all the other massive downsides, both environmentally and socially.
Google situation is not the same as AI. Google replaced your library index, nobody liked trawling through index cards at a library. AI is looking to replace technical expertise. People like having tecnhical expertise, and they like using it, it feels nice and makes you money.
Your comment above is being downvited because this:
That’s because they do not know how to use AI correctly,
seems to imply that there is a correct way to use AI.
In the context of the current generation of labor theft algorithms and surveillance tools, the only correct way to interact with them is as a conscientious objector - which is to say, abject refusal on moral grounds.
Failure to abstain from the use of LLMs and their ilk indicates either:
Ignorance of the damage being done by these algorithms, their training, and the corporations that develop and operate them (have you somehow been living under a rock?)
-or-
Complete moral and good sense judgment failure of the individual.
“AI” is continually improving prediction models. There are excellent use cases for prediction models, like weather forecasting, or planning distribution of emergency resources ahead of impending disaster.
But expecting a desk jockey to expect any prediction model to accurately create anew thing based on a human description of what that thing should be like would require the prediction model to possess its own creativity. That’s just not a thing.
I can only assume that you didn’t fully read my comment, because it is specifically not talking about such prediction models. It is specifically talking about LLMs and the related corporations around which all of the current VC hype nonsense is centered.

LLMs are universally hugbots, telling you what they think you want to hear. That’s always going to be a bad way to get accurate solutions. I think we agree on that.
There are prediction models that aren’t LLMs which can be useful. Your comment was unclear on whether you considered LLMs to be the entirety of “AI” or not.
Yeah exactly I agree. Weird my comment has a down vote 😬
Take a step back and your reply basically says:

and llms are suited for none of those examples you gave.

The early part of your comment said

Can’t have a differentiated opinion about $bad_thing on here!
I see differing opinions get upvoted here with regularity, just not the bad opinions.
That’s two different words that should be differentiated, mind you.
That’s just your opinion man
I suppose I’ll never understand why comments are upvoted or downvoted. Sometimes I get the impression that it’s more down to chance or mistakes.
