New Study Says Artificial Intelligence Still Too Costly To Replace Most Human Jobs::Artificial intelligence is still costly to replace most human jobs, according to a study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.The MIT Beyond AI Exposure study said, "Machines will steal our jobs" is a sentiment frequently expressed during times of rapid technological change. "Such anxiety has re-emerged with the creation of large language models (e.g. ChatGPT, Bard, GPT-4) that show considerable skill in tasks where previously only human beings showed proficiency," it said Monday.

Bullshit i can get mistral 7b running 24/7 on an old desktop at a fraction of minimum wage.

Yes and what would you trust it to do?

The only thing I'd trust a 7b LLM to do is reply to idiotic comments on Lemmy.

That sounds like next quarter’s problem!

Churning out what, 2 tokens per second? Which job are you going to replace?

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

As per the other comment, they talk about computer vision. So a tiny subset of jobs that are in danger. And not even sure how that has anything to do with LLM Like GPT. Seems like clickbait.

I didnt read the article but the headline is obviously misleading clickbait
