We all know that AI systems use a lot of energy and resources. But what for? What are these systems good at, exactly? To answer that, let's a look at how AI is being used today. And as a bonus, we'll also take a look at why Kevin O'Leary likes AI.
Nice article 😆 And I wonder if it’s going to stay that way. Or if it’s like a new invention which is still missing a (good) application. I have some other good use-case which are missing in the list and that’s image classification and description, speech to text and text to speech. And machine translation. I think that’s massively useful. But as pointed out in the article, generative AI does lots of things which harm people and society. I mean the promise is that it’s going to get better and stop lying so much, so we can have some proper applications as well. But that’s not a thing yet. And personally - I’m still waiting for AI to merge with robotics and do real hands-on work. Which could be very helpful in some professions. Or lead to a more dystopian future.
And I believe all the accelleration of everything, spreading misinformation and making it super cheap and easy to manipulate and spam, is here to stay. That’s something we need to deal with, and it’s not easy or straightforward. If I were a tech bro, I’d advertise my AI solution to deal with the issues that arise with AI 😅
