"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

AI in marketing? (lemmy.zip)

Companies keep pushing AI as something positive, in increasingly stupid ways.

From the SAAB JAS-39 Gripen E fighter supposedly having AI, to the Sony A7R VI having AI auto focus, and other weird applications.

As a resonably logical person who works in IT, I can see the Gripen E having the space, energy and general computing resources to run a local AI model, but the Sony A7R VI?

I am mashing X hard on that one!

How much of AI bullshit is just machine learning and just older tech we have had for a while under different names?

Don't get me wrong, I hate AI with a passion, I am not trying to excuse it's use, I am trying to figure out what devices use AI branding as a marketing gimmick while using less bad crap, and what devices actually could use AI.

As an IT guy and a hobby photographer I feel like AI is far too much A while inhibiting the I of the user.

The AI in JAS-39 Gripen is a highly specialized typ of support system, its supposed to support the pilot in some way when doing specific tasks. Its not the same as chatGPT or claude.

I read the paper many years ago trying to use onboard video of the sky to reconstruct GPS coordinates or some other typ of navigation reference after flying into areas with heavy jamming but that was for some sort of drone I think. So its probably something like that.
