What does ‘artificial intelligence’ really mean, and is there a better term to describe these systems? @sayash.bsky.social prefers the term ‘automated cognitive tasks.’

Of course, the various pathologies of the current #AI industry may only be 20% based on the technology and its foibles. Late-stage capitalism, oligarchy, regulatory capture, venture capital, and more make a loathsome bog of eternal stench in the other 80%. #AISnakeOil

Could it be half as long? No, that would lose too much. Could it be 5x as long? Yes, without fully mining out the issues of the current #AI industry. With a 2024 pub date, it does a lot of work. I'd bet there's at least one sequel in the works. #AISnakeOil

The cover of "AI Snake Oil" by Narayanan and Kapoor
Many thanks to @amypearlman.bsky.social for this recommendstion! If possible, I'd probably rate it around 4.3 out of 5. Some issues, but an awful lot that needed to be written. The concluding chapter alone might be worth the price. #AISnakeOil

I'm enjoying learning about Epimetheus, the impulse control challenged brother of Prometheus, who was used by Zeus to deliver Pandora's evils on the world. One wonders whether the techbros share Epimetheus's malady of impulse control.

You can "target" knowledge work with stochastic parrots; that does not mean you'll succeed.

I miss the slowness with which I could get on the internet and learn what I should be outraged about that day. 😉

Can generative AI systems (like ChatGPT) actually reason? The debate is open in the field of cognitive neuroscience.

Cover of the book 'AI Snake Oil' by Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor
If you want to learn about AI, the good, bad, and ugly; read this book. It's turning me from a blanket hater into an almost-advocate for deployments of AI that actually work.
The authors also make a case for #UBI and regulating #AI.
Good stuff
Get it from the library or www.bookshop.org

Until then, let’s call this what it is: intellectual laziness masquerading as empirical rigor.

Finally read "AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the Difference" a few ago. A great read and I learnt how to look at and prepare for the age of AI and not to fall for AI snake oil.

Between Crypto and AI snake-oil tech billionaires will fuck up a lot of peoples lives! Unfortunately, there will be no government regulators to keep them in check!
