AI snakeoil

[Anya Ristow]

Unfortunately I haven't found a concise takedown of AI (as currently hyped and marketed), but if you can, watch the first 15 minutes of this...


He also interviewed the guy responsible for the betteroffline podcast, and he had some useful technical reasons AI won't do what they say it will do any time soon, but that one is also over an hour long.

Consistent to the video and in all reality, I don't accept any of the current technologies as remotely intelligent. I personally perceive an extremely wide gap between informed/educated and smart/intelligent. LLM is very informed and educated yet still currently relies on pseudorandom algorithms to extract existing data to reach conclusions. A truly intelligent system should be able to exceed itself moments after activation. In my opinion, the primary mechanism of intelligence is push, not pull. Abstraction, not interpretation.

The doomsday prediction of AI 'taking over' remains true. But can only become factual when genuinely AI.

Or...
Educated != Intelligent
Informed != Smart
Truth != Fact
Pseudorandom != Random
Pull != Push
Interpretation != Abstraction
Current state of "AI" != AI
