Yet another prime case of Potemkin AI. I hate seeing an “AI notetaker” in a zoom call recording everything. In some cases, these notetakers were literally just a guy writing everything down. We too often see vaporous hype leading to the credulous embrace of fraudulent systems.

If Sam Altman claimed something about a past event — say, a date or a historical episode — would you take his word for it, or would you double-check the facts elsewhere? Then why take him at his word when he talks about things that haven’t happened yet?

Today marks the 20th anniversary of Amazon MTurk, launched on Nov 2, 2005, to pioneer “artificial artificial intelligence”: using 500,000 underpaid workers to annotate, review, imitate AI. What a difference 20 years makes! Today they’re still underpaid but there are tens of millions of them.

Quand il s’agit d’IA, le catastrophisme est une branche du marketing.
C'est la raison pour laquelle il faut se méfier des discours catastrophistes sur la "superintelligence", ravivés tous les six mois à grand renfort de pétitions : le fantasme de l'IA générale n'est pas critique du pouvoir technologique, c'est son double inversé.
