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

Here's the Wikipedia definition:

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses generative models to generate text, images, videos, audio, software code or other forms of data.[1] These models learn the underlying patterns and structures of their training data, and use them to generate new data[2] in response to input, which often takes the form of natural language prompts.

What part of it says it is just chatbots? Notice that of says "other forms of data" there? That is because audio, video, and chatbots are the most common cases, not the only cases. Prompts are not even needed. You just have a bunch of data points forming a distribution, and you want a model that samples faithfully from that distribution.

I agree that the word "AI" and even "generative AI" is being used to basically describe big tech that pushes their products on people like OpenAI and Anthropic, but you gotta understand that relying on context is bound to create misunderstanding. Context doesn't travel along like words do.

Generative AI are models that generate data from a learned distribution. Some weather models involve generative AI as in generating weather trajectories, you also use it often in behavioral models where you want to generate animal like behavior from observing how actual animals behave. There are plenty of examples, you just want to be part of the hate bandwagon.

That is one of the main applications of LLMs, so what? If you want more specific applications tied to my field you can look at behavioral modeling.

Machine learning is part of AI. I replied with multiple examples because the post and the reply asked about how to use AI non greedily and not generative AI specifically. Generative AI isn't just chatbots.

I am doing a PhD in computational neuroscience. We use LLMs a lot. Helps write code that I don't want to bother write and find some bugs due to human error. You sure make a lot of assumptions about strangers online.

Depends on what you want to accomplish. How do you employ a hammer non-greedly? You can use AI for meteorological forecasts, predicting diseases, data compression, the uses are endless. For the case of generative AI, it helps writing code, generate synthetic data, create quick proofs of concept etc.

You're directing your hate the wrong way, the problem is how generative AI is employed by the greedy, not the technology itself.

Is that an actual quote from her?

Oh wow, it even comes myelinated. Thank you gary

I thought the point of secure boot was to make it harder to install linux
