  Give me one real world use that is worth the downside.

  As dev I can already tell you it’s not coding or around code. Project get spamed with low quality nonsensical bug repport, ai generated code rarely work and doesn’t integrate well ( on top on pushing all the work on the reviewer wich is already the hardest part of coding ) and ai written documentation is ridled with errors and is not legible.

  And even if ai was remotly good at something it still the equivalent of a microwave trying to replace the entire restaurant kitchen.

    I can run a small LLM locally which I can talk to to turn certain lights on and off, set reminders for me, play music etc.

      But we could do vocal assistants well before LLMs (look at siri) and without setting everything on fire.

      And seriously, I asked for something that’s worth all the down side and you bring up clippy 2.0 ???

      Where are the MANY exemples ? why are LLMs/genAI company burning money ? where are the companies making use of of the suposedly many uses ?

      I genuily want to understand.

        You asked for one example, I gave you one.

        It's not just voice, I can ask it complex questions and it can understand context and put on lights or close blinds based on that context.

        I find it very useful with no real drawbacks

      I can run a small LLM locally which I can talk to using voice to turn certain lights on and off, set reminders for me, play music etc.

      Neat trick, but it’s not worth the headache of set up when you can do all that by getting off your chair and pushing buttons. Hell, you don’t even have to get off your chair! A cellphone can do all that already, and you don’t even need voice commands to do it.

      Are you able to give any actual examples of a good use of an LLM?

        Like it or not, that is an actual example.

        I can lay in my bed and turn off the lights without touching my phone, or turn on certain muisic without touching my phone.

        I could ask if I remembered to lock the front door etc.

        But okay, I'll play your game, let's pretend that doesn't count.

        I can use my local AI to draft documents or emails speeding up the process a lot.

        Or I can used it to translate.

      That’s like saying “asbestos has some good uses, so we should just give every household a big pile of it without any training or PPE”

      It doesn’t matter that it has some good uses and that later we went “oops, maybe let’s only give it to experts to use”. The harm has already been done by eager supporters, intentional or not.

        No that is completely not what they are saying. Stop arguing strawmen.

  Absolutely brain dead to compare the probability engine “AI” with no fundamental use beyond marketed value with a wide variety of truly useful innovations that did not involve marketing in their design.

  Of those, only the internet was turned loose on an unsuspecting public, and they had decades of the faucet slowly being opened, to prepare.

  Can you imagine if after WW2, Werner Von Braun came to the USA and then just like… Gave every man woman and child a rocket, with no training? Good and evil wouldn’t even come into, it’d be chaos and destruction.

  Imagine if every household got a nuclear reactor to power it, but none of the people in the household got any training in how to care for it.

  It’s not a matter of good and evil, it’s a matter of harm.

    The Internet kind of was turned lose on an unsuspecting public. Social media has and still is causing a lot of harm.

    Did you really compare every household having a nuclear reactor with people having access to AI?

    How's is that even remotely a fair comparison.

    To me the Internet being released on people and AI being released on people is more of a fair comparison.

    Both can do lots of harm and good, both will probably cost a lot of people their jobs etc.
