Eerke Boiten, Professor of Cyber Security at De Montfort University Leicester, explains his belief that current AI should not be used for serious applications.
Hmmh, I usually get upvoted for citing Betteridge’s law… But not today within this context. Yeah, I’m aware of Lemmy’s mentality. I still think what I said holds up 😉
I’ve found the Fediverse to be a lot “bubblier” than Reddit, I suspect because the communities are smaller. Makes it easier for groupthink to become established. One element of the @technology bubble is a strong anti-AI sentiment, I’ve kind of given up on getting any useful information on that subject here. Quite unfortunate given how widespread it’s getting.
I think we could co-exist peacefully, if we put in some effort. But that’s not how Lemmy works. We use the “All”-Feed instead of subscriptions and then complain we don’t want posts about all the topics… Most posts are made to AskLemmy, NoStupidQuestions or Technology, disregarding if any dedicated communities exist… It’s a bit of a mess. And yeah, the mob mentality is strong. It helps if you go with the flow. Just don’t mention nuanced and complicated details. Simple truths always win. Especially if people like to believe something were true.
I really don’t care any more. I mean I agree with most of this problem. Some days half the posts on technology (or more) are about AI. And a lot of that isn’t even newsworthy stuff or something with substance. If I were in charge, I’d delete that, tell people to discuss the minute details in some dedicated community and have some more balance. Because there are a lot of other very interesting tech-related topics that could be discussed instead.
And simultaneously, I’d love to see some more activity and engagement in the AI communities.
Judging just by the headline, the answer should be “No”, though, according to Betteridge’s law of headlines.
But we don’t like AI, therefore anything negative said about it is more plausible than anything positive said about it. You see the dilemma here.
