(+) A.I in general

[Deset Gled]

AI is transforming the way image processing is being handled in a lot of fields, from research to clinical and medical applications. One of the most critical places is pathology. Here's just a couple of examples of companies that have been pushing the limits of machine learning as a tool for quantitative analysis in pathology for awhile now.

I can accept that correction for the most part. I still think there’s problems in the ways in which certain AIs are being taught to do things, which can lead to ethical and practical pitfalls.

But yeah, a HUGE chunk of my concerns are business sectors- and scammers- using it for purposes where mistakes could have legal, life-threatening or livelihood destroying implications.

Oh, I have similar concerns. But we need to be honest with ourselves and differentiate between the tool's inherent qualities, and how humans use the tool.

I've seen a lot of these-

Melbourne lawyer referred to complaints body after AI generated made-up case citations in family court

Legal professional used software to generate a case citation list, but did not use documents that had undergone human verification

www.theguardian.com

I expect to see a lot more.

If you're gonna AI, check the work. People check the cases, you know!

Yeah, I think there was a NJ attorney disbarred recently for submitting an AI brief where the cases turned out to be hallucinated.

Every time I've played around with AI and legal questions it's been problematic. The AI cites cases that look on point, but once checked they're, more often than not, hallucinated.

It may get there eventually, but it's not even close right now.

I like some of the stuff AI makes possible. It is very cool for data processing and analysis. They used neural networks to isolate John Lennon's voice in an old tape that they could go on to mix into a finished song. It also being able to upscale pictures so they look good on modern TVs is also fantastic.

I also find it interesting that generative AI could be used to get raw material for making photo collages that is free from copyright. But it has very few legitimate uses. Really, recently I had to fill a company-wide survey about our usage of Generative AI. Part of the idea seemed to be that they wanted to measure how much gen AI increased productivity. I was blunt; since it is a thing, my work has slowed down consistently and I need to do way more to control for it.

I just don't see how it could be useful for serious design work. It is just too hard to control with precision.

The most powerful use of AI is not in manipulating art.

This. AI is a tool and for some uses, it is an incredible useful tool. My concerns are how people use it to less ethical things, not the tool in itself.

I am a software developer and the coding copilots are now completely integrated in my workflow, love them and wont miss them. It doesn't replace abstract thinking and good application design, but it helps me to get ideas fast by fast-forwarding looking up documentations, scanning error stacktraces for hints, suggestion code improvements etc. It feels like a fast personal assistent, that sometimes talks naughty word and you have to decline their suggestions relatively often, but they have many of them and have them quickly.

Pretty sure they will stay in software development.

I think his error was to use a general LLM (trained on a large variety of sources to be able to sound correct statistically on most topics) rather than a dedicated model for law. Diagnosing AI are working better than a AI-less human, as evidenced earlier, but that doesn't mean that you can chat with chatgpt about how you feel and get a diagnose.

Generally-trained models are at the intern level at best: you need to re-read everything they made and not rely on them for anything critical. But specialized AI models can do much better.

There will be some point where general models will have enough data to be there, but I am not sure they'll be runnable on home computer in the short run.
