Ai was used in the development of the COVID vaccine. It was crucial in its creation.
But just for a second let’s use guns as an example instead of ai. Guns kill people. Lemmy is anti gun, mostly. Yet Lemmy is pro Ukraine, mostly, and y’all supports the Ukrainians using guns to defend themselves.
Or cars, generally cars suck yet we use them as transport.
These are just tools they’re as good and as bad as the people using them.
So yes, it is just you and a select few smooth brains that can’t see past their own bias.
The term AI, when used by laymen, is a blanket term for the generative AI and LLMs that big tech is shoving down all our throats right now, not the highly specialized AIs used in medicine. So bringing up the COVID vaccine is largely a non-sequitur.
The rest of your comment is so full of false equivalencies that I’m not even gonna touch it.
It doesn’t really make sense to call ai “stupid”. It’s just a computer algorithm.
The results can be good or bad depending on what you want to achieve.
Chatgpt can give a bad result if you try to play chess, because the GPT based algorithms are not very good at that. For that problem a tree search-based algorithm is better. E.g. minmax
Trying to compare the intelligence of a specialized, single purpose AI to an LLM is asinine, and shows you don’t really know what you’re talking about. Just like how it’s asinine to equate a technology that pervades every facet of our lives, personal and professional, without our consent or control, to cars and guns.
That’s what OP says too, only the other way around.

Machine Learning, or Data Science, is not what “anti-AI” is about. You can acknowledge that or keep being confused.
These are just tools they’re as good and as bad as the people using them.
In a vacuum. We don’t live in a vacuum. (no not the thing that you push around the house to clean the carpet. That’s also a tool. And the vacuum industry didn’t blow three hundred billion dollars on a vacuum concept that sort of works sometimes.)
So yes, it is just you and a select few smooth brains that can’t see past their own bias.
Yeah they’re so unfair to the ubiquitous tech companies that dominate their waking lives. I too support the unregulated billionaire’s efforts to cram invasive broken technology into every aspect of culture and society. I mean the vacuum industry. Whatever, i’m too smart for thinking about it.
Let’s try again. You use the internet right? Well, the internet is used for crimes, it makes people dumber, ever watch any flat earth videos? You should boycott the internet so you’re not part of it that way you can remain morally in the clear.
And you not liking commercial llms vs. Machine learning for scientific application only makes you a hypocrite.
Idk my boss keeps asking some perplexity AI any time you ask him any question instead of either
A) Thinking
Or
B) Researching (he thinks AI is researching. Despite it being proven perplexity has lied to him before.)
In essence, by making it so he doesn’t have to think about things or do any research himself, it is making him dumber. Not in the sense of losing actual brain cells (maybe. Remains to be seen.) but in the sense of “whether or not he’s physically dumber, his output is, so functionally…”
You can’t dispell irrational thoughts through rational arguments. People hate LLMs because they feel left behind which is an absolutely valid concern but expressed poorly.
It’s a tool being used by humans.
It’s not making anyone dumber or smarter.
I’m so tired of this anti ai bullshit.

The highly specialized “ai” that was used to make the COVID vaccine is probably significantly stupider than chatgpt two years ago.
Nothing I said was a false equivalency, though I’m pretty sure you don’t even know what a false equivalent is.

So you’ve missed the point of what I was trying to say and proceeded to spout utter nonsense instead. Ok.
If I’ve missed the point, it’s because you’ve not made it clear. Please point out what nonsense I’ve spouted.
Nailed it.
Absolutely incorrect.

Ok you’ve clearly lost the plot.

HAHAHAh! Wow.
Is that not true?
People hate llms because it gets them upvotes on lemmy. They don’t even know what llm stands for.
No.
