@ZachWeinersmith what if I am exactly at that point where A2, A3, B2, and B3 overlap?

[jannem@fosstodon.org]

@ZachWeinersmith
Hm. A2, C2, or A3 - and possibly even C3 - completely depending on what is included in "AI".

@ZachWeinersmith A2 (like apparently just about everyone else here )

@ZachWeinersmith

I think: What is meant by "AI"?

LLMs have a few use cases but shouldn't qualify as "AI", and are not a step on any path to AGI.

A2, with some A1 mixed in.

Although with the caveat that I'm talking about LLMs and such, not actual AI.

Conceptually, true AI is possible. It's just not currently real or even pursued.

@ZachWeinersmith I'm in C2, but then again I work with (non-LLM) machine learning systems in my day job; my viewpoint is not normal.

[jwisser@wandering.shop]

@ZachWeinersmith I think A2, but without more clarity around what specifically you mean by "Ai", it's hard to be sure which column I'm in. Are we talking about LLMs only? Machine learning generally? Somewhere in between? Kizuna Ai?

@ZachWeinersmith somewhere between A1 and A2

[degroof@mastodon.social]

@ZachWeinersmith Probably A2, but mainly due to the difference between actual AI research and the generative predictive engines currently being marketed as AI.

[tatra@masto.adeserv.uk]

@ZachWeinersmith Depending on our definitions of "AI" and "work", my answer varies. If we're talking about the current crop of Gen AI tools, and by "work" we mean something like "reliably delivers useful results when used in the intended way" - A1, easy.
