What are your thoughts on AI? (lemmy.ml)

What are your thoughts on Generative Machine Learning models? Do you like them? Why? What future do you see for this technology?

What about non-generative uses for these neural networks? Do you know of any field that could use such pattern recognition technology?

I want to get a feel for what are the general thoughts of Lemmy Users on this technology.

Mixed feelings. I decided not to study graphic design because I saw the writing on the wall, so I'm a little salty. I think they can be really useful for cutting back on menial tasks though. For example, I don't see why people bitch about someone using AI for their cover letter as long as they proofread it afterwards. That seems like the kind of thing you'd want to automate, unlike art and human interaction.

I think right now I just kind of hate AI because of capitalism. Tech companies are trying to make it sound like they can do so many things they really can't, and people are falling for it.

Writing a cover letter is a good exercise in self reflection

True, I just assumed that reflection was required in order to give the AI the prompt, and the AI was mainly used to format it correctly. I might be talking out of my ass here since I haven't used it extensively.
