This might be the most awfully absurd thing that could ever happen.

“We got perfectly capable humans doing that job pretending to be AIs so that we can sell more incapable AIs services, AND prevent the AI bubble from bursting. Gotta make some big $$$ out of this shit, 2008 style baby”

Lest anyone think this is a new scam:

It's also worth noting that this is famous enough that Amazon has offered a service called Mechanical Turk since 2005.

The implementation and service are both fine in theory, but you do need to be clear that what's being paid for is humans pretending to be computers.

AI was filmed on a soundstage in California. Sam Altman was played by Jesse Eisenberg. ChatGPT is just a recording of Mark Zuckerberg talking to himself in the mirror

I would be careful trusting everything said in this video and taking it at face value.

He touches on a broad range of different AI related news, but doesn't seem to fully grasp the technology himself (I'm basing this statement on his "evidence" from the 8 min mark).

He seems to be running a channel that's heavily centered on stock market related content. And it feels like he's putting his own spin on every topic he touches in this video.

Overall, it's not the worst video, but I would rather base my information from better informed sources.

What he should have done was to set the baseline by defining what AI actually is and then proceed to compare what these companies are doing with that definition. Instead we have a list of AI news stories covering Amazon Fresh Stores, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Copilot (powered by ChatGPT) and his own take on how those stories mean that everything is faked.

I can assure you by the systems they're ordering for AI specific workloads that they are indeed not even remotely faking AI.

[–] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

This video should have more accurately been labelled, "Things that make AI Look Bad" rather than attempting to prove that AI was faked.

No! Surely not
