      I mean literally this. AI is a strong tool when used properly, but we should obviously not lose sight of long term goals in favor of short term opportunities

        Yep.

        This was never the fault of AI.
        Its always the corporations- by nature, they’re designed to go with what gets the most profit at any cost.
        Just look at what they do to the meat industry to living creatures and their living employees who have to deal with it.

        I don’t think people appreciate just how dangerously willing these current AI companies are to set fire to the upcoming few decades of society- all for a little bit of glory right now.

        The energy problem is definitely one thing I didn’t realize was quite so dire, but we’re on the cusp of total loss of control over your own likeness, and these companies really couldn’t care less.

      Ai has replaced so much of what I used to Google search for, but without the blog fluff (though it adds its own flavour of fluff).

      All of it is low stakes, so I’m not worried about the accuracy as long as it keeps me moving on a task.

        I tried this recently in hopes of finding an animation pilot, it was too willing to give me completely wrong answers (the most popular things or even kids shows) or it’d just make a name up. Admittedly, I was using 13b.Q4 models and they are not the newest ones.

        I ended up finding what I was looking for by pure coincidence: I did a generic search (finding adult swim pilots (I had combed the wikipedia page and their site already)) and one of the higher results is a reddit thread where someone was looking for the same show I was and they made the same mistake that I made (mistaking a Cartoon Hangover short for an Adult Swim pilot).

        After that I tried finding an even older and dumber animation that I had gotten on the PSN during the PS3 era, those terms tripped the AI up because it would only give me videogames.

        (Certain things are probably better to ask, I’d say I’m not sure about computation being worth it but then again search is pretty garbage these days unless it’s an obvious query that won’t be mixed up with other newer/more-popular terms)
