Individuals yes, corporations no.
The company I work for dumped RedHat at the RHEL 5 release, because we system admins saw the writing on the wall with the introduction of Entitlements/licenses. We've been all Debian (and will stay all Debian for the foreseeable future), and it's been glorious.
Giving Deloitte money should be a fireable offense. In fact, it should be automatic. No performance review, and no explanations:
1) Did you authorized an expenditure on Deloitte?
2) Yes.
3) Your personal property will be boxed up and made available for pickup at the Customer Service desk. Now GET OUT!
I like using the term, "Augmented Idiocy" to describe this phase of CEO stupidity.
If customer requirements are that the rug be feces-free, and your automatic rug cleaner dumps more shit on the rug than it clean up, then yes.
However, Microsoft and Windows still exist, so point taken.
AI will clean up the messes that AI makes.
Yes, much like deleting the database will clean up data entry errors made to the database. Technically true, but rather useless.
...so you could take the additional 5 min to log into something else than Amazon.
That's only after spending the months or years to find a reasonable, trustworthy alternative (Walmart is the only real competitor, with NewEgg being a decent runner-up for computer parts). 99.9% of the time, it goes like this:
1) Hey, StormReaver, I have a great alternative to Amazon and Walmart! It's [fill in alternative].
2) Great! Thanks, I'll check it out!
3) It turns out the alternative has 3-week shipping (that I have to pay for), and a nearly-nonexistent return policy. If it has one, I have to pay exorbitant return shipping, too. Or it has almost nothing I want.
4) Back to Amazon and Walmart I go.
Which is why I stopped asking for alternatives. There aren't any.
Thinking otherwise is a sign of a small mind.
I couldn't disagree more. Thinking otherwise is a sign of someone who has gone through the public school system. AI learning can't possibly be any worse than the public school system. I would have LOVED to have been educated this way. I would have gotten WAY more out of school than the gulags of the 70s and 80s.
I remember school as BORING!!!
Absolutely! My schooling dramatically held back my education. My mom was a far more effective teacher than my school teachers. I would have been far more educated being home schooled than I was after finishing public school. The latter was largely a waste of time and potential.
These folks have shown themselves to be unfit to be police officers.
So are the people who required the keyloggers. Bad judgement seems endemic to the police force.
...make a chat like that "temporary", or to delete it afterwards?
You seem to be under the impression that those are actual options. They are not. Anything you say to ChatGPT and its ilk remain forever.
...but that's the lie that has been sold.
It wasn't a lie when I was in college. It was the sole reason I went to college. I applied for many programming jobs in the 1990s, showed my portfolio of free software, got a lot of interest from potential employers because of it, and was uniformly rejected for the SOLE reason of a degree being required for the job.
I might skip college as a career path nowadays since the return on investment is much lower than it was in the past, and a degree as a job requirement is a bit less prevalent than it used to be.
It also becomes easy for other people to avoid violating the patent.
The way patents work is that an applications has letters A, B, C, D, E, and F in order to get the patent. Then the patent holder sues anyone who does A, B, C, D, E, or F; in any combination. Then they argue that not all elements need to be present at the same time to constitute patent infringement. And then, if they lose, they suffer no consequences aside from the money they put into the suit. And then they write that off as a business expense.
That this piece of shit was even considered for submission is an indictment of how horribly corrupt the patent system is. The prior art for this goes back to the first time someone needed to jot down how something was organized. Even the worn adage of, "but with a computer!" fails the prior art test for at least decades.
This application should have been immediately shit-canned, and any moron who grants it should be executed by a squad of rusty-spooned chimpanzees.
It's not hallucinations (those only happen for biological organisms). These are errors in pattern prediction -- malfunctions. The malfunction rate in these things is astounding. Imagine a surgeon who gets more business every time he kills a patient because he saw "he" and assumed he was supposed to operate on the head instead of the heart. That's where LLM's are.
Misinformation is any information that runs counter to the traditional media. The truth of any information is irrelevant. It all revolves around how much power it gives to (termed "Information"), or takes away from (termed "Misinformation"), the traditional media and their masters. They have lied to us for decades, and the consequences have come home to roost.
...or that 'promoted superstition'
I find that hilarious, since China is rife with superstition: pointing furniture in certain directions, mirror phobias, fortune tellers consulted before deciding on business transactions, etc. Not that the rest of the world is any better. Our world has a long way to go to eliminate ridiculous superstition.
