    You lot would’ve said the same thing about self driving cars, crypto, NFTs, solar-freaking-roadways etc

    People are so fucking sick of tech hype

    Edit: how could I forget the metaverse! The f u t u r e

    Edit2: sam altman of openAI fame, is literally a crypto grifter, he wanted to make GPT so he could ruin the internet and real life so he could force you to buy his stupid crypto coin

      Yea, if only there were real world applications for AI. Like image/video generation and editing, text generation including code, audio processing and generation, object recognition and image classification, fraud detection, medical diagnosis, predictions in general, protein folding, or even just general data analysis. Then it might actually take off.

      OpenGPT is just an LLM but that’s only one small facet of AI. When people talk about AI and only mean LLMs or even one specific guy/company, it’s a clear sign they don’t know any more about AI than that one Vox article they read 2 months ago.

            Yeah, I’m working at a company that traditionally makes digital signal processors for telecommunications, and even we’re using AI for actual practical applications. The current project I’m working on is applying an object detection model to detect different signal types in 2D spectrograms. The old way takes like 15 minutes to scan and detect across a wide band. This technique is likely going to be an order of magnitude faster (at least based on preliminary results) and lower-power, as you only need to capture one set of samples, then let the computer vision do most of the rest. The old way to scan for signals required taking a bunch of RF samples, which was very wasteful of time and energy, but there wasn’t really an alternative until now.

            Anyhoo, all that to say I agree with you. It’s crazy to equate AI’s capabilities and potential to that of crypto.

            Jesus you are dense

            Why not get an AI to explain it to me then

            all I can say is wait and see

            This is yet again exactly what the NFT guys said

            If you have any peer reviewed sources about brain wave whatever go ahead and drop them, but you’re doing all the same hype shit every other tech scam has done

                So wait a minute, this 3 year old paper that isn’t related to the current crop of AI fad hype at all, and that’s supposed to sell me on das future? Also just going back to your original post I really appreciate “prediction in general” you can keep your AI astrologers lol

                  You wouldn’t need an AI to predict this low effort response from you after getting exactly what you asked for. What’d you do, look at the date and instantly form an opinion? Do you scoff at textbooks because they were written years prior to your birth?

                  I’m not the original person you replied to, bud. I just wanted to find something peer reviewed for you on getting images from brain scans, since you doubted that’s a thing.

                  But like, you could also just look at the scene in the computer science field overall, if you’d like something more recent. Like the full journal from the IEEE, or maybe that little journal called Nature.

                  What do you think computer science departments at universities even do??

                The NFT people said the exact same thing. The wright brothers did not sell people on the dream of the Boeing 707, they sold the wright model A, an actual product to an actual customer. You are not selling me the wright model A

      AI is literally going to change everything. It’s already started, don’t you feel it?

        No, and that’s exactly what the crypto, NFT, metaverse, self driving cars, solar roadways guys said. Show me

        I’m not buying Sam Altmans fucking crypto coin
