    AI is shaking up everything. My professors are constantly using it for their research to get more accurate simulations, for example. Instead of tweaking parameters for ages an AI tweaks them live while the simulation is running.

    Chat bots / LLMs are overhyped and used for lots of things they shouldn’t do but AI is here to stay.

      One would think someone in uni would be smart enough to realise that, to a layperson, AI = LLMs / generative model.

      People have been automating hyerparameter tuning before anyone knew what a GPT is. Maybe don’t take that “fuck AI” too personally?

      Do you think the majority of new datacenters going up are going to be used for those useful niche cases, or LLM slop that they’re going to try to shove down consumers throats?

        No, and they’re a huge waste of ressources. We just mustnt use this as a reason to reject AI as a whole.

          Maybe the people trying to cram LLMs into every single aspect of our lives should have thought of that before they labelled it AI.
