A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I must confess to getting a little sick of seeing the endless stream of articles about this (along with the season finale of Succession and the debt ceiling), but what do you folks think? Is this something we should all be worrying about, or is it overblown?
EDIT: have a look at this: https://beehaw.org/post/422907
I studied some AI at University. Not overhyped frameworks or tools, just fundamentals. Believe me when I say the dropout rate is high in the first few weeks when people realise a lot of it is fancy statistical models or inference.
You're right, it's a helpful tool and people have found it useful. That's great. To wonder if we should be scared? I'm quite honestly more scared about what the already intelligent people around me can do, especially when empowered by these shiny new tools.
Yeah, what smart folks can do with these tools combined with mountains of data most people leave in the wake with their online presence is a little frightening. Not like the data itself wasn't frightening in the first place, but with these tools it's a lot easier to process it.
