Best use of AI so far
You're going to be happy about its application in biochemisty, genetics and astronomy. The volumes of data needing analysis are staggering, they're just the perfect tasks for a robot brain.
Different than LLM. It's other machine learning that are just using the AI label now to join the hype train. Not you same as what openAI and other AI companies are selling
But... isn't it the other way around? LLMs are just one type of AI and they used the overall term AI to hype their products because it sounds better.
Kind of. AI is now the catch all now but that's because LLM were called generative AI. So the older terms all followed suit to catch the hype train. But most of the problems with AI are LLM specifics.
Generative AI is a specific subset of Deep Learning, which is a subset of Machine Learning, which is a subset of AI. Generative AI includes more than just LLMs. It also includes the image and video AI creations. There are also GenAI than makes music.
Machine Learning is typically creating versions of things that existed prior, or recreating things from behavior extracted from prior data. Deep Learning is similar but employs neural networks of various types. The distinction between GenAI and Deep Learning is that GenAI creates something that never existed before, essentially original works.
Your base point in this conversation stands though. The Deep Learning used in science for analyzing patterns or behavior in, say, biology, is very different (and its more useful) than GenAI and the slop it can produce.
The chart is good and all but I've been a data scientist now for almost 10 years. Most of these terms have changed more then once. There are mostly marketing terms. I've done deep learning, machine learning, data mining (my favorite term), statistical learning, predictive analysis and now AI while using mostly the same things.
It existed for more than 7 decades actually.

Yeah, Turing had papers on machine learning at the same time he was establishing other basic concepts of computer science.
Its an imperfect solution to an otherwise difficult task. I don't know if anyone in science should be happy to use it since its results aren't generally reproducible (a problem that already existed in biochemistry and genetics) but I could see it as being helpful at narrowing down datasets too large for people to handle.
I think with this epstein stuff too if the code and training data is not open there's always a possibility AI has been set to filter something (such as Trump's name).
Data Hoarder doing the lord's work.
Kinda looks like it's a data set from the scrubbed files with no mention of the president's name. I've seen his name in formerly released Epstein files so I know it should be there. There was a contact page with about 20 trump phone numbers and his email address released in the past along with other files.
Wasn't Trump's name coded as something like Defendant A or something along those lines so it doesn't simply show by Ctrl-F?
174, I believe John doe? I can't remember but it was something 174
People gonna get disappeared for this.
Nobody here allowed to say anything good about this. Yall hate on AI like it’s your job.
EDIT: pay attention to all the downvotes. It shows how many people feel personally attacked by the comment, and thus proving my point
Bonus points for failing to discern the source of nearly everyone's dislike of AI - rampant theft of independent artists' work to produce drek art which profits random wankers, its use to replace humans and dispossess them of their jobs via obsolescence, etc. This guy siccs AI on a project of a kind that's arguably its best intended use (for a laudable purpose), and people approve, but all you can say is that people are hypocrites for having criticized AI's most common, shitty uses.
Boom! Roasted that turkey!
The hallucinations are another important source of dislike. You ask the agent questions and then it gives confidently incorrect answers.
Also, it'd be really upsetting if this guy's vibe-coded database had a bug that caused data loss.
It's AI slop unless it does something you like.
"You don't write at a 5th grade reading level, you clearly used AI to criticize me." What are you, allergic to dictionaries? I try to use the words which best define what I'm describing, there's no need for AI.

slow clap
All the other comments on this post are positive. What are you complaining about?
Exactly that
AI pattern matching to be used for searching is a thing that existed before the current LLM and image generation shitfest that we complain about using 'AI' since that is the common shorthand used by media and shills.
A search that returns unaltered search results is very different from an 'AI summary' that is full of errors.
Um...
I think there is some nuance that you are missing.
This is still part of a search process that makes the files more easily searchable. The end result is still searching the documents to find where in the documents something is. The summary in that case is to help confirm what you are looking for is in those results. The summary is not the end result.
That is very different than presenting the summary as the end result, which is the LLM AI hype train from OpenAI and similar companies.
The same tools can be used in multiple ways, some are positive and some are not. Like how an axe can be used to chop down a tree or murder someone.
Using an axe to chop down a tree is the negative.
When somebody uses AI in a way you don't like
When somebody uses it in a way you do like
Well, yes. I hate the shitty slop and like the stuff that is beneficial and not shitty.
No way am I taking orders from a Venusaur, idgaf how good your Sp. Atk is 😂
Solar beam!
Just wanted to say that I personally found this hilarious.
