GrapheneOS is currently defending its use of AI coding tools on Mastodon against complaints by various accounts claiming to be users.

We do not understand where you're coming from or why you're so incredibly angry with us. It's not justified and does not make sense.

Machine learning isn’t going anywhere. But it’s clear from the context here what we’re referring to when we say AI in this conversation.

    Machine learning isn’t going anywhere.

    As someone who despises the current slop hype with a passion, you're correct on this. But only when you exclude LLMs. Because they are garbage with a net negative for mankind. Machine learning as a field however has very useful applications. Typically such that complement human assessment of data, e.g. re-viewing radiology images to flag potentially anomalous images for a second doctor to look at - not in place of the first doctor.

    Finally, a person with a brain.

    Instead of going away, the AI will transform. It's sort of in a bubble state rn. Once it pops, the fields where it's useful will keep on using it, whilst those applications that have no real grounds for existing will either have their plugs pulled or resources cut.

    Apparently, not to me. Explain.

    Pointing to a wiki page instead of actually explaining stuff isn't going to change my mind.

    Now, if you're talking specifically about LLMs, however (which you could've just said so, ffs). I think their scope of application and resources wasted on them will be significantly reduced. Look at what happened to blockchains and NFT. Basically, I expect the same to happen here.
