Feel like we’ve got a lot of tech savvy people here seems like a good place to ask. Basically as a dumb guy that reads the news it seems like everyone that lost their mind (and savings) on crypto just pivoted to AI. In addition to that you’ve got all these people invested in AI companies running around with flashlights under their chins like “bro this is so scary how good we made this thing”. Seems like bullshit.

I’ve seen people generating bits of programming with it which seems useful but idk man. Coming from CNC I don’t think I’d just send it with some chatgpt code. Is it all hype? Is there something actually useful under there?

    The idea of NN or the basis itself is not AI. If you had actual read D. E. Rumelhart, G. E. Hinton, and R. J. Williams, “Learning Internal Representations by Error Propagation.” Sep. 01, 1985. then you would understand this bc that paper is about a machine learning technique not AI. If you had done your research properly instead of just reading wikipedia, then you would have also come across autoassociative memory which is the precursor to autoencoders and generative autoencoders which is the foundation of a lot of what we now think of as AI models. H. Abdi, “A Generalized Approach For Connectionist Auto-Associative Memories: Interpretation, Implication Illustration For Face Processing,” in In J. Demongeot (Ed.) Artificial, University Press, 1988, pp. 151–164.

        You don’t get to complain about people being condescending to you when you are going around literally copy and pasting wikipedia. Also you’re not right, major progress in this field started in the 80s although the concepts were published earlier, they were basically ignored by researchers. You’re making it sound like the NNs we’re using now are the same as the 60s when in reality our architectures and just even how we approach the problem have changed significantly. It’s not until the 90s-00s that we started getting decent results that could even match older ML techniques like SVM or kNN.
