    “recent AI developments”

    so, you just want to talk about the current batch of narrow AI LLMs?

    or are you open to all the graphics/video editing stuff? (Topaz’s quality is pretty amazing)

    it’s a lot better than “is hotdog”.

    it’s also slow.

    remember, all these systems do is take a bunch of data in and guess until they get it right, then based on that, process more data and so on.

    Have you ever read the story about the AI tank from the 90s?

    https://gwern.net/tank

    short version of the story is: computer was fed a bunch of pictures. some with tanks, some without. after a while, it got great at identifying them.

    when they tried it out with a tank, it kept shooting at trees.

    turns out, all the pics with tanks were taken in the shade.

    now, like I said: story.

    but the point is, this is something that’s been worked on for decades. it’s a problem as big as teaching as it is how to teach.

    so, to be clear: there are LOTS of “true uses”. the issue is “they aren’t ready yet”.

    we’re just playing around with beta versions (effectively) while still being amazed at how far they’ve come.
