The crowd at a SXSW screening booed at a video telling people to "stop resisting" AI advances and embrace them.

Audiences attending the SXSW premiere of “The Fall Guy,” starring Ryan Gosling, were not happy about having to watch a sizzle reel before the movie that touted the promises of AI.

    universal generalism

    It’s hard to go to work and have these conversations over and over again

    I had a conversation with one of my mates, who was convinced, “AI is creative in the same way humans are creative. Therefore AI is actual intelligence.”

    It was a struggle to try to explain how LLMs aren’t creative at all, can’t conceptualize understanding, and are unable to determine whether they know something or not. I think I used painting terms, and AI being unable to consistently categorize a new color without being re-trained. He disagreed. Full blown nutter with no more understanding of the tech than you can find on FB, but he’s certain he knows best.

      Unfortunate thing is your mate is on par with the working knowledge of big venture capital swilling CEOs, CTOs, not to mention the other departments trying to get in on that sweet sweet prompt “magic”
