That’s how I felt waking up this morning (as of posting). Who else can relate?

Wrong. Slop generating and cognitive offloading is bad and even the most mundane use of local AI contributes to ecological collapse for nothing in return.

I don't see how offloading a task that is trivial and that I won't have much to learn out of it is "bad", in that case you shouldn't use calculators. Of course, that is different than completely letting an LLM think for you.

As for the ecological collapse, that is inherently a problem with capitalism and big tech, AI models don't decide the hardware or what power source they can be trained on.

I optimize industrial robots using AI tools to analyze data, which allowed us to work far faster and improve machines we otherwise couldn't. Each optimized robot usually saves hundreds of watts 24/7 for 10-20 years to come. The optimized programs also reduce wear, sometimes extending predicted service life by multiple years. But yeah, I'm sure that contributes to ecological collapse

Wow, you're right: your single use-case fixed all the problems with global AI use.
Great work and my bad!

Also, absolutely zero people are criticizing maching learning when referencing AI, but you would know that if your comment wasnt slop.
What else did Grok tell you to say?

I never said it fixes all problems, this was in response to a post saying "all AI existing is bad". Tons of Anti-AI people don't even know the difference between LLMs and machine learning, and who says LLMs aren't a part of this? "Write a python script to plot data in this log file"?

But since you apparently know my job better than I do, feel free to apply, we're hiring!

You sure like the word optimized!

Lose the wilful ignorance, dude

The fucking irony. I don't respect you and you will get nothing in return for your subservience, just so you know.

[–] wrinkle2409@lemmy.cafe 5 points 3 weeks ago

Subservience to what? Having basic common sense and not being drowned by hate is not subservience.

[–] ReCursing@feddit.uk -4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What am I being subservient to? Don't say corporations, I'd far rather run ai locally using open sourced and open weight models, or on duck.ai

You haters are dull, and less creative and more often wrong than the AI you so loudly hate

Corporations and the billionaires

WRONG. Try again? Better yet, don't
