    @Immersive_Matthew @pikesley MP3s, email, the internet etc all WORKED from the very first day. They worked exactly as they continue to work now, just a bit more slowly.

    This bullshit “AI” doesn’t work. That’s the difference.

    Imagine someone invented email which sometimes got delivered and sometimes didn’t, and sometimes had the right content and sometimes didn’t and sometimes went to the wrong person even when it had the right address? That’s your metaphor.

      Why do you think AI does not work? I am using it daily to help write code for my top rated VR app. Sure it makes mistakes, but overall it is utterly amazing. I use the paid ChatGPT4 and a Claude.

        @Immersive_Matthew
        There are examples in the news literally every day of “AI” making horrible mistakes and creating wildly inaccurate fake information.

        It’s not “AI” in any real sense.

        You’re using it to autocomplete code, a task which is highly suited to this kind of “AI” and it’s been trained on billions of lines of code and it still makes lots of mistakes. It’s in no way intelligent, not even 1 per cent of the way to intelligent.

          We will have to disagree as it does show signs of intelligence here and there way above 1%. It is more than an autocomplete as it can take in and understand complex systems even when I thought it did not. Truly shocking at times. It is on par with image creation in that it can create some stunning images, but it often has a couple issue that you have to smooth over in Photoshop/GIMP. The fact that it can make images at all, including shadows and reflections is truly impressive. I find it extremely valuable and could not imagine being without even with its current limitations that can be worked around. Not for everyone though as it is a little hard to use still.
