amazing work
it’s crazy. some of this went from taking years to now taking minutes and people react negative because it’s using machine learning and AI.
Thank you Google.

This is fundamentally different than chat bots and the anti-AI movement needs to learn this to be effective.
Replying to @benjirenji@slrpnk.net
don’t blame the anti-AI movement for conflating when it was places like Google that purposely marketed LLMs as AI.
ofc people will confuse the two and just say “fuck all AI”.
Replying to @GreenKnight23@lemmy.world
Absolutely true. Tech companies and others love to conflate them. It’s also a money thing: Idiots with too much money (that we should probably tax to use for something useful) want to invest in AI, so if I’ve been working on a project that needs funds, I just rebrand it as “AI”, even if it just runs on more traditional ML principles.
