Autonomous murderbot tries to drive through Chinese New Year street party, gets whole entire ass handed to it. straphanger: Now, if I were AI, I might get the feeling that humans don't think you're particularly welcome on those streets. Just sayin'...
At one point, calculators were worse than humans at the same job. All it took was time and money and now I think everyone can agree we’re better off not having to wait 20+ minutes to get a quadratic equation solved.
Of course they’re not using AI to solve quadratics, it’s part of the calculator analogy. It’s a whole lot quicker to solve a quadratic formula in a calculator than by hand.
It mostly sucks ungodly amounts of electricity for a mediocre result. And I don’t think the energy consumed for things like driving a two ton vehicle around, when people can take a bus or a train, is worth it.
I am not pro car, I am very much pro AI though

How is solving a quadratic equation, whose analytical solution is known, equal to driving?
@Scubus @chaogomu wait you’re using AI to solve quadratics? You know this a solved problem, right? Like, there’s a formula and everything

No, I use a calculator. My point was that technologies that suck now get better as they age.
@Scubus oooor they turn out to be useless and go away

It doesn’t take 20 minutes to solve a quadratic equation by hand unless you’re doing it for the first time.
