VelvetPinkOtter123@lemmy.world 5 days agoYeah, sucks when you dig yourself this deep into a hole isn’t it? Feel dumb yet? Consider it a life lesson
Deep Learning has been around 14 years. LLMs 6. AI Agents 4.
88% of businesses use it. State Governments are striking deals with AI companies to implement it into their systems.
And the people who have been the earliest adaptors of this technology, the people who know the most about it because they’ve been dealing with it the longest? IT and Tech.
But yeah, I’m not even a software engineer right? What would I know?
Except literally all of that and it’s exactly what I told you… but nah, clearly you know it’s the next Virtual Boy and it’s going to die off any second now
lol

Jesus christ, if you’re going to shill at least get the right timeline of things. This stuff is way older than that and has been used in different kind of programs and software for a shit ton of back end computation and analysis. What do you think runs procedurally generated video game layouts?
There are reasonable use cases for LLMs, they’re still not Jesus and still not doing anything new other than automating your thoughts and opinions to that of the owners while blanking out the consumer tech market, significantly raising surrounding temperatures where “AI” data centers are, and wasting more water than local municipalities and farming communities while providing no tangible growth nor financial success due to the energy demands of making computers do something that you could just as easily do yourself if you weren’t such a lazy, self-serving, idiot fuck.
Let’s go with game boy, a staggeringly successful device despite its lack of quality compared to the rest of the market. We’ve had and used it for years successfully, but it has HARD limits on what it can actually accomplish. You’re telling me that the gameboy is going to revolutionize our future when it’s already done everything it is functionally capable of, anything past that point is dangerously stupid and detrimental to tech as a whole and will lead to market and consumer stagnation of tech across the board. It’s like when we put radium in everything just because it can glow in the dark and so a lot of idiots thought that meant it was some kind of magical panacea. There are still good uses for radium, but your wrist watch isn’t one of them.

I said you’re free to hate it but it’s not going away
You told me it was the Virtual Boy, a failed product that didn’t even last a year
Suddenly it’s all, “It’s been around even longer than you say” and “there are reasonable use cases for LLMS”
Yeah, sucks to be a moron doesn’t it?
Bet you won’t make that stupid fucking claim ever again
As far as your gameboy analogy goes, handheld gaming definitly didn’t go away. It wasn’t a fad, and it’s still here… compare the game boy to your fucking phone and realize what a dipshit you still are

The Virtual Boy was a failed expansion of The Game Boy, as far as my analogies go I’d say I got it straight on. What we have had and used to its usable capacity for years is LLMs, what we are doing with them currently is The Virtual Boy point for point. My claim stands.
I was referring to compute capability, not format, your comprehension is garbage, probably from cognitive decline due to overuse of “AI” tools, which is yet another standout issue for your Virtual Boy.

I just showed you that it’s popularity is increasing. It’s now in 88% of businesses. It’s not the Virtual Boy, it’s the Nokia or the iPhone
MP3 players didn’t go away, they just became a part of your phone. Handheld gaming didn’t go away, it’s one of the best selling consoles on the market. We went from VHS to Tivo to high-def streaming on demand; nobody just gave up having the ability to record movies and tv shows and then watch them at will
Yeah, cell phones existed but they were bulky, expensive, not very user friendly… then something happened and suddenly they were accessible to everyone and everyone jumped on it and never looked back. More and more people used them, the technology became a part of daily life, and it only got better over time; that’s AI
You think we’re all just going to stop using AI any day now just like we did with The Virtual Boy, The Zune, and Betmax. That’s not fucking happening. Those things were never even popular to begin with. AI is fucking everywhere and nobody is going to just wake up one day and stop using it. Yeah, the technology behind it will probably change a bit, get faster, get better… but what we refer to as AI, is here to stay
So yeah, you can hate it all you want but your anti-AI shit is going to look stupid as fuck in 20 years. Like the internet, it’s not a fad. And just how we laugh at people who claimed the internet was dumb, had no use, and would die off… that’s how we’ll laugh at people like you who think AI is, “entirely pointless” because it, “doesn’t do anything new”
lol
