I bet you plenty of people absolutely do want this.
Most people can barely use a computer and would love this if it worked well.
You forget a huge percentage of users can barely access their emails.
Lemmy is very techcentric and most users on here are far from the average consumer on technical literacy.
You just aren’t the target audience.
It’s amazingly good at moderating user content to flag for moderator review. Existing text analysis completely falls down beyond keyword filtering tbh.
It’s really good at sentiment analysis. Which is great for things like user reviews. The Amazon ai notes on products are actually brilliant at summarizing the pros and cons of a product. I work for a holiday let company and we experimented with using it to find customers we need to follow up with and the results were amazing.
It smashes other automated translating services as well.
I use it a lot as a programmer to very quickly learn new topics. Also as an interactive docs that you can ask follow up questions to. I can pick up a new language as I go much faster than with traditional resources.
It’s honestly a complete game changer.
I’m guessing they have limited resources for direct intervention so use this to flag up people who have the most risk factors.
It doesn’t sound like this is people asking for help but more trying to predict who might need it.
after an investigation by The Fuller Project and The Markup found the department’s algorithm prioritized White, male veterans. It also gave preference to veterans who are “divorced and male” and “widowed and male” but not to any group of female veterans.
It shouldn’t favour anyone. It should treat each person as an individual and figure out what they need based on their characteristics. If it’s been designed to only work well for white men it’s been designed poorly.
As a type 1 diabetic with multiple attachments already this sounds great.
You have to trust the person you’re communicating with has turned it off. That’s my point. It’s an optional feature
There’s literally an option to turn it off
It can be turned off so it’s up to the person you’re messaging. Once you send something the person at the other end is in control of what happens to it.
No it’s a neural network. They may be over-hyped but they are 100% an AI.
August 31, 1955 The term “artificial intelligence” is coined in a proposal for a “2 month, 10 man study of artificial intelligence” submitted by John McCarthy (Dartmouth College), Marvin Minsky (Harvard University), Nathaniel Rochester (IBM), and Claude Shannon (Bell Telephone Laboratories)

This is just literally not true.
Point 3 is what LLMs are.
You are thinking of general artificial intelligence from sci-fi
An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans,
This is what artificial intelligence actually means. Solving problems that traditionally require intelligence
Path finding algorithms in games are AI. And have always been referred to as such. We studied them my AI module at uni.
Machine learning is just a specific field in AI. It’s all AI. Anything that attempts to mimic intelligence is.
All the things you mentioned are neural networks which are some of the oldest AIs.
Seems sensible. Check the output of AI tools before posting. Be pretty stupid not to proof read it at a minimum.
I was talking more generally about LLMs here
I’ve found they’re great as a learning tool where decent docs are available. Or as an interactive docs you can ask follow up questions to.
We mostly use c# and it’s amazing at digging into the MS docs to pull out useful things from the bcl or common patterns.
Our new juniors got up to speed so fast by asking it to explain stuff in the existing codebases. Which in turn takes pressure off more senior staff.
I got productive in vuejs in a large codebase in a couple days that way.
Using to generate actual code is insanely shit haha It is very similar to just copy pasting code and hacking it in without understanding it.
“I can easily do it on my phone” is also good.
If a Zoox robot taxi encounters a construction zone it has not seen before, for instance, a technician in the command center will receive an alert
Seems perfectly sensible
At no point does OP imply it can actually think and as far as I can see they only use the term once and use it correctly.
If you are talking about the use of “lie” that’s just a simplification of explaining it creates false information.
From the context there is nothing that implies OP thinks it has a real mind.
You’re essentially arguing semantics even though it’s perfectly clear what they mean.
It has totalled them as the items are sent everyday after they are introduced.
