Clearly a picture of a cat, however A.I. has mistaken it as a dog.

Haha another, "AI Dumb" meme. I know, don't worry. This gave me a modest chuckle

I'm afraid that AI doesn't have to be better than human beings at a certain task for them to replace humans. AI just has to be good enough. Humans are insanely expensive to pay so even if a AI will do a much worse job but still acceptable then companies may still want to replace those workers. I'm afraid that AI will just make products and services just slightly more shitty just for the sake of corporate profits.

For a long time there have been OCR programs reading text, with staff proof reading. You can still have a third as many people even if AI is terrible.

This is what will really happen. AI will never completely replace a development team, but it can (and will) cut it to a third of its size because all the bulk work is done by AI and just tested or proofread by humans. This will happen over all sorts of industries as different AI models are trained in different skills and fields.

At the end of the day though it doesn't much matter if you have 66% of people or 90% of people out of jobs, you have a major problem either way. If AI takes over the workforce something must be done for the people it is displacing.

The machine learning built into these softwares aren't as great as they can be, because you're usually running them on low powered hardware.

I run Immich, and it gets results like this wrong.

Google photos, on the other hand, is insane. I can type in anyone's name, and it'll pull up photos of them when they were a baby, despite those photos being scanned in and have no meta data connection. Also pulls up videos with them inside.

I can search for any text, item, and even break it down to a very specific search such as "blue car with black hood", or, "James and Jack at the beach", and it'll show me photos with both James AND Jack only at the beach.

It's flipping nuts. Hard to compare to some free machine learning half baked into a free open source photo gallery maintained by half a guy, built to run on a raspberry Pi.

Oh yeah of course, even in this case where it got some easy stuff wrong I'm still astounded of what it did get right in other situations; considering as you said this is running on a Pi 4 (8GB)

Not hot dog.

That's nothing lol. Turned off the feature when it mistook my paradox game for a kitchen, my highschool graduation for waterfront property (not even close), & my face for a beetle

not realizing deep learning is different than generative ai... wich WILL take our jobs. not all AI is the same my dude

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No but they follow similar training which is really what constructs the A.I. Also I'm pretty sure deep learning is another name for machine learning, which is just an umbrella term for, again, A.I. training.

Also I don't actually think A.I. will take jobs, more just enhance what we already do.

you are wrong, machine learning are algorithms for pattern recognition.. the are used for prediction in uncertain systems... deep learning is mostly unsupervised image processing and classification using neural networks and complex algorithms. AI is an umbrella term yes but it's more than just machine learning and deep learning... take for example llms, they are a very complex network of CNN and Deep learning clusters. AI will take jobs most definitely... not all of them, but most jobs will be obsolete very fast. take into consideration that the tech is evolving very quickly and the market is not keeping up with it... once one competitor starts using ai, it will get ahead of it's competitors FAST and EASY. it's already happening, I work in that industry so I can say with confidence that AI will take millions of jobs in the next 10 years ... saying "it will only make our jobs easier" its absolutely wishful thinking
