Sorry watch the video last night, but Sanders thinks this is AI. No folks its not and the bubble going pop. I love Sanders but this fear mongering was not necessary.
Mkay. I work in the industry, and everything he said is quite on point.
Unless you want to clarify, it seems you have zero clue as to what you are talking about about.
Forgive my ignorance, where has AI (particularly the LLMs) proven to be useful and effective to the point of displacing workers? While I understand it has use cases (drug discovery, etc.) they usually add to what information experts add onto it. I don’t see this just displacing corporate roles. How do you see it?
Every single study I’ve seen, LLMs have not been proven to be effective. They still get things wrong, hallucinate and still need to be checked to verify they’re correct on any important work.
You're correct on their limitations. That doesn't stop corporations from implementing them, sometimes as an extra tool, sometimes as a rash displacement of paid labor, and often without your last step, checking the results they output.
LLMs are a specialized tool, but CEOs are using it as a hammer where they see nails everywhere, and it has displaced some workers. A few have realized the mistake and backtracked, but they didn't necessarily put workers back. As per usual anytime there is displacement.
And for the record, while LLMs are technically under the general AI classification, they are not AI in the sense of what the term AI brings to the mind (AGI). But they have definitely been marketed as such because what started as AI research turned into a money grab that is still going on.
Yes but the hiring slowdown started well before LLMs became mainstream and the current labor market freeze occurred right after the tariffs were enacted. Currently, it seems to be an excuse for a poor labor market with some hope it just might pay off. However, it every study I’ve seen from MIT and Stanford, it has not materialized anywhere to be more efficient than workers or coming close to displacing people. Most CEOs are not exactly tech experts either.
