Today's manmade horror: Bazingas on twitter are amazed that glorified chatbots like GPT-3 can produce readable text that is nominally about whatever topic you request. Say they just spent 20 minutes learning about physics. Say that this makes all existing forms of education obsolete. Say that teachers are no longer needed.
Directly below this someone else posted a prolonged dialogue where the GPT-3 bot calmly explained why a peregrine falcon is the worlds fastest marine mammal. When corrected it said that the sailfish is the fastest marine mammal, explaining that sailfish are warm blooded and have fur.
Bazingas think they can replace teachers (and everything else) with their half-baked machine learning systems because they're so ignorant and uneducated about anything outside their direct field of expertise that they don't actually know what any other disciplines do, or why they do what they do, or even how to evaluate when they're being fed bad knowledge.
Link for dunking.
Forget about teachers, who needs students. Why bother educating, just ask the smart robots everything. Why bother even asking them, just let them take every conceivable decision. It's not like these are just machines that literally string sentences word by word by inferring statistically which one is more likely to come next without any conceptual understanding of... anything really. Nothing can go wrong.
I don't know if they're educated in their own supposed fields of expertise, like everyone has an intuitive understanding of how these things work, except them apparently. Like they're fooled by a literal robot parrot Look at this! . I'm losing my shit that these 300K salaried scientists are getting scammed by a mindless robot.
I've already been told by a smug treat defender that human beings have only as much or less value than the machines and software replacing them right now and having any objection to :porky-happy: 's theft and exploitation of labor (yes, that includes artists) is emotional and against materialism(tm).
do they realize that if they don't control the automatic treat machine, they're going to go without treats. that's, of course, assuming the treat machine works and doesn't output a bunch of nonsense to begin with.
And leftists are the misanthropes?
I wholeheartedly agree, but rest assured nobody in machine learning applications is making that kind of money (from one job/employer).
Maybe there's one that got in super early and works on an actual framework or something.
Co-founder of Anaconda early?
EDIT: Ah, just looked at where OP's link went. I'm sure he's not that stupid, just doing PR.
Sure, if you're on the original cap sheet for a firm and manage to pass the buck to someone who'll pay you for it.
Nobody who got hired and is still in a role to do "stuff" with machine learning at any firm is making 300K though.
Yeah I got maybe a bit carried away by calling the guy stupid, but then he must think WE are stupid, which is worse.
