“Artificial Intelligence would be the ultimate version of Google. If we had the ultimate search engine, it would understand everything on the web. It would understand exactly what you wanted and it would give you the right thing”
“That’s obviously artificial intelligence. To be able to answer any question basically, because almost everything is on the web, right?”
“We’re no where near that now. However we can get incrementally closer to that and that’s basically what we work on. And that’s tremendously interesting from an intellectual standpoint”
Google algorithm was perfect, then They kept tweaking it until it was trash, then they added AI random generator and made it even worse.
It’s trash for you. It works for them because it keeps you on their pages longer
Crazy that afaik LLMs were only ever spoken about as being predictive and not having any sentience or be able to think. But some unintelligent money people thought “wow, this is amazing and it knows everything and it talks to me in a nice way and compliments me. We need to put this everywhere” then some slightly smarter money tech people said “hey we can make a lot of money by selling the idea that these idiots have and then we can run once they start to realise it isnt what they thought”
Or am i wrong about that?
That sounds downright wholesome compared to what I think is happening, which is that they’re all money people and they’re working together to make our lives worse for their own enrichment
Very wrong. It’s the new spy tech. Lol
The funny thing is, this is essentially the same as today.
‘We’re making AI. AI is the most powerful tool humanity could ever build, able to comprehend everything.’
But LLMs don’t actually understand anything.
‘Oh, yeah. But we’ve got all this compute power and all this storage. We’ve opened another 13 datacenters. We aren’t at AI yet, but we’re getting closer, and closer, every day.’
Not much of a prediction when that was already what people decades before predicted it could be. Hell, the kind of “AI” we have now is described pretty accurately in a few cyberpunk novels from the 80s, let alone the entire concept of an artificial intelligence existing as far back as ancient roman times; long before they even had computers.
Yeah I mean, there were many many scifi authors decades before with better stuff than this, plus it feels like they put all their efforts into ads so it’s a bunch of shit.
Its just failing on the giving you the right thing part.
We weren’t exactly living in caves in 2000. He’s a computer scientist. He’d have to have been pretty terrible at his job to not see this by then.
There is so much information that isn’t on the web. Ask anyone with deep knowledge of anything.
Money?
