Comment on BBC Greenlights “Real Life ‘Black Mirror'” Doc About Artificial Intelligence
SquiffSquiff@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoYou’re missing the really obvious angle given that this is the BBC. She doesn’t need to come down on whether it’s good or bad at all. She simply needs to show that it’s something interesting to look at and explain how it works which certainly is maths.

Giving today’s AI slop coverage at all provides some bias for AI slop, especially if the coverage ends on any kind of positive note or doesn’t also highlight the extreme damages AI data centers cause. AI theory is all maths; AI practice (at least currently) is the widespread destruction of natural resources to increase the value of a handful of individuals solely on paper. Not explaining that makes it look good because why wouldn’t we improve AI relationships because the math looks solid! (Or whatever other example AI slop would provide if relationships doesn’t reasonate) There are recent videos of Hannah Fry explaining how to get value out of LLMs which doesn’t bode well.
