This is plainly incorrect

EDIT: nvm OP has edited the post

It has value in natural language processing, like turning unstructured natural language data into structured data. Not suitable for all situations though, like situations that cannot tolerate hallucinations.

Its also good for reorganizing information and presenting it in a different format; and also classification of semantic meaning of text. It’s good for pretty much anything dealing with semantic meaning, really.

I see people often trying to use generative AI as a knowledge store, such as asking an AI assistant factual questions, but this is an invalid usecase.

Seems pedantic. You know what they are asking!

We ought to at least try our best

🤷 I still say yes and I still think it would be profound and perspective changing to create something “like us” with silicon

I also don’t think AI and science are mutually exclusive. I don’t mean asking the AI questions about consciousness and getting answers directly from it like an LLM chatbot, but the fact that we can make it and scientific study + observation of the AGI phenomenon might provide some answers

And even if we develop AGI that is just like us, maybe you’re right and maybe it proves absolutely nothing about souls, but it at least narrows the requirements and eliminates some common reasoning, which should be in everyone’s interests, because it could further define and help us understand the nature of the hypothetical soul

Yes, to answer questions about consciousness and prove that we aren’t special or have super special magical souls

lemmy.ml has earned itself a pretty bad reputation, although there are instances that are worse. They keep things clean enough to not get defederated, but you’re not really in sane company on there.

I don’t really get this, shouldn’t this be a budget feature for cheap GPUs to cheat at rendering? If you buy an expensive GPU, why would you be interested in fake frames?

I remind myself “it’s just life” and that “no one makes it out of life alive”

A tiny bit of nihilism goes a long way
