Comment on "influencers" are setting us back
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 5 days agoThe 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

You are one insecure little man about your Virtual Boy.
“AI” doesn’t exist and never will, LLMs reached their full potential long ago, you’re advocating for corporate ownership and technological stagnation, and you fucking love sucking the dick of authority figures telling you what and how to think.
And you’re just fucking stupid and insecure to still be defending this shit to me at this point. Get a fucking life you insecure little crybaby.

AI is what we call LLMs, don’t be willfully ignorant, you know that. When people say they are going to “Goggle it” that doesn’t mean that they have to use Google. Some people refer to all soda drinks as “Coke”. Saying “AI” instead of “LLM” is fine. LLMs are a subset of AI anyway. But more importantly, semantics don’t matter, you’re just desperately trying to distract from the fact that you said it a useless tool that doesn’t do anything new for idiots
I’ve never once advocating for for anything. I just said that you were free to hate it but it’s not going to go away and people are going to look back on these, “AI is dumb” posts the same way we look back on newspaper clippings of people saying the internet was a fad
I’m not even mad, you seem to be fuming though

Then why are you so mad, bruv?
