@Twotired@universeodon.com I worked on computer vision stuff in 2012-2013. It's absolutely fascinating stuff and I'd love to mess around with it again. AI chatbots aren't even a new thing either, they're just being marketed as a "new" because the Transformer ANN circuitry makes them appear better at interaction, but it doesn't make them self-aware, reliable or sentient. All the Eliza effect like problems happening now have known about for decades - the difference is it is being mass marketed.

@Twotired@universeodon.com @kelpana@mastodon.ie Yeah, it seems some of these models can be very good at pattern recognition in images (distinct from pattern matching), and.. that's about it..? But LLMs? Nope, no, no way. It's probabilistic output based on extremely fancy maths and severe environmental damage. Sin é.
