As someone who works with integrating AI- it’s failing badly.
At best, it’s good for transcription- at least until it hallucinates and adds things to your medical record that don’t exist. Which it does and when the providers don’t check for errors - which few do regularly- congrats- you now have a medical record of whatever it hallucinated today.
And they are no better than answering machines for customer service. Sure, they can answer basic questions, but so can the automated phone systems.
They can’t consistently do anything more complex without making errors- and most people are frankly too dumb or lazy to properly verify outputs. And that’s why this bubble is so huge.

This is what drives nuts the most about it. We had so many incredibly efficient, purpose-built tools using the same technologies (machine learning and neural networks) and we threw them away in favor of wildly inefficient, general-purpose LLMs that can’t do a single thing right. All because of marketing hype convincing billionaires they won’t need to pay people anymore.
As someone who is actually an AI tool developer (I just use existing models) - it’s absolutely NOT failing.
Lemmy is ironically incredibly tech illiterate.
It can be working and good and still be a bubble - you know that right? A lot of AI is overvalued but to say it’s “failing badly” is absurd and really helps absolutely no one.
According to whom? No one’s running their instance here. I’m a software dev with over 20 years of foss experience and imo lemmy’s user base is somewhat illiterate bunch of contrarians when it comes to popular tech discussions.
We’re clearly not going to agree here without objective data so unless you’re willing to provide that have a good day, bye.

It is going to pop, messily.
This is my main argument. I need to check the output for correctness anyways. Might as well do it in the first place then.

I disagree with all these self hosting Linux running passionate open source advocates, so they must be technology illiterate.
