    Yeah, so far. It’s super early in the modern incarnation of AI that actually has the chance to pay off, LLMs.

    This isn’t like Bitcoin where there’s huge hype for a pretty small market opportunity. We all realize the promise, we are just still figuring out how to get rid of hallucinations and making it consistent and tuned to a certain business usage.

      Well, and also navigating the minefields that the LLMs absolutely have copyrighted material in them that wasn’t paid for or licensed. E.G. Dall-E can produce a full image of Fresh Cut Grass, a character owned by Critical Role.

      And that the stuff they produce isn’t copyright-able.

        Even if that were true, is there no value in public domain art resources?

            Exhibit A, Disney, a giant megacorp whose most famous works are literally founded on public domain material.

            Bear in mind that public domain is not like a copyleft license, it’s not “viral.” If I make a movie and the Mona Lisa shows up in it, that movie is still copyright to me even though there’s a public domain element in it. It’s even easier with unique AI-generated stuff because you can’t even tell what’s public domain and what isn’t.

              Something has to be ownable to be public domain. AI produced items are un-ownable, since the AI is the owner, but it can’t own them since it’s a legally a “tool”.

                You are deeply confused about what “public domain” means. Something that is un-ownable (in an intellectual property sense) is public domain.

                You may be referring to the Thaler v. Perlmutter case when you say “AI is the owner?” That’s a widely misunderstood case that’s gone through quite the game of telephone in the media. The judge in it ruled that an AI cannot own copyright, but that doesn’t mean that AI-produced art is uncopyrightable. Just that AIs aren’t people, from a legal perspective, and you need to be a legal person to own copyright. If Thaler had claimed copyright for himself, as a person, things might have gone differently. But he didn’t.

      Image recognition AIs are already paying off, specifically in the medical technology industry. 90% of radiologists are gonna be out of a job within 5 years (just my personal bro take).

      The hyper fixation on LLM is silly, it’s just hyped up because it’s something that the average person can play with. But your take on LLMs I agree with. It’s just not the only, or even the actual dominant, AI out there.

        It’s not “paying off” as this isn’t implemented anywhere, thus not making money.

        I think you’re way off the mark and buying into the hype. That’s my opinion from an electronic medical record software analyst.

            I’m in cardiology - radiology is right across the hall. We’re both under ancillary services. Lab techs are not rad techs, and rad techs don’t read films. You don’t work in this field, do you?

            None of this is implemented so none of it is paying off.

            Also nobody thinks this will take their jobs, because it looks like Theranos to us, in that it’s very hyped in tech and ridiculous to those of us in the medical field.

              Sounds like your hospital is behind the times then. Mine has already been rolling out the tech and holding seminars on how folks don’t need to worry about losing their job. And, I suppose as an EMR analyst you’re fully aware that Epic is working on a natural language interface for querying SlicerDicer so even data analysts will have to go pound sand soon (not saying that’s good btw).

                Dude, I am an Epic analyst. We’re a 10 star organization (ie cutting edge adoption of features).

                I don’t know how to tell you how wrong you are. None of this is even remotely near production.

                Helping with SlicerDicer queries is not reading a film. This is a ridiculous comparison.

                Again, even language processing features are not remotely near production. It’s not even in any proof of concept environments.

                  Idk what to tell ya. My hospital is already using it and it’s one of the biggest hospitals in the region. Maybe your hospital is more hat than cattle as they say around here. Guess you’re not as special as you thought you were
