The whole "let me summarise this for you" is pointless to me and is EVERYWHERE. It just adds a lot of friction in my everyday work with zere benefits. If I have a 10 pages pdf document, it means every single line and word is important to me, an summary is totally pointless and can be dangerous.
And I also see a world where people use LLM to enhance their emails, develop their ideas and then the reader of this email uses an LLM to mak a summary of this overly developped writing they recieved. It doesn't help people to go straight to the point and just adds a lot of friction in communications with zero benefits.
Most of the people obsessed by IA in their workfield are tech people. They have a strong biais that IA will solve everything because it has a very strong impact on their work. In my work (not tech), I tried some new IA stuff and realised it was far from being reliable so on only use it once in a while. And I guess, for many people outside the tech world, LLM are not that usefull overall despite what they hear everyday from tech companies. So there is a huge gap of perception of IA and LLM betweet tech people and other people. I think that's where all the "hate" comes from.
For most people, IA just costs a lot of energy, rises the prices of hardware without bringing theme any tangible benefits.
I hope my personal point of view helps you understant better why people are upset with current state of IA. I am a "tech curious" person and tried some IA stuff over the past 2-3 years and ended up being very disapointed by the results.
tl;dr : Most people don't see the benefits of IA, they only see the cost of it.
You are correct that there are reasons tech people are more inclined to like these things, but it's not really because AI is useful to them.
Actually, here's a good video about its usefulness.
I think the reason tech people are so bought into it is a combination of
That last bullet, I don't know if you remember the contemptuous rivalry between stem majors and the arts or humanities, any major that was less "useful"—that's the exact smug attitude I'm talking about. There are a lot of people who think they could just program away life's many problems.
I'm a very techy person and am vastly more fascinated by tech from 1977 to around 2010 than anything today. Most stuff today is boring and serves only to surveil and destroy our lives bit by bit. Besides medical advancements.
Yeah... :/
I just like video games.
Same. But I'm 1000% more impressed by devs getting Crash to run on ps1 than I am by ubisoft cranking out slop every year that requires accounts and data theft, and constant updates to a never finished game.
I just want a game that is done. I hate this constant updates bull. It ruins replayability for games too and kills any nostalgia a young person may ever have because they keep changing it more and more and then eventually shut servers down for a game you paid for. Most things suck now.
I like the top comment of the video you suggested. It sums up the current issue : "A computer can never be held responsible, therefore a computer must never make a management decision" - IBM training manual, 1979 Decisions cannot be automated. Many jobs require a lot of decision making and taking responsibility of these decisions.
