Then you’d remember clippy was pretty crappy, he’d interject with useless assistance and was universally hated and eventually they stopped including it in Word. Today he’s just nostalgia bait for people to cash in on
AI on the other hand is everywhere now and not going anywhere
There’s been no major leaps and bounds in technology
This is absolutely absurd thing to say, hence why I figured you’re in an echo chamber
If you could understand what’s behind the curtain, you’d realise not much magic is going on back there. What you’re instead noticing is hardware improving, allowing for more aggressive training and processing. The recipe is otherwise pretty much the same as it was five or even eight years ago. This is why we still have the same old issues and they don’t appear to be going anywhere anytime soon because the tech is still the same old shit.
And, no, these things you have raised are not new. Perhaps new to some as AI has recently been put on the radar thanks to large-scale training. I can’t explain how someone could draw a conclusion like yours unless the current state of AI seems new to them.
“Echo chamber” is a coincidental selection of words in this context.
And yeah, “practically magic” has told me enough. When we joke about people, the m-word is the always used when putting on a “normie” persona. I’m having an actual “found one in the wild” moment, it’s great.
nah i don’t want theirs, i want yours, you’re the one who thinks ai is clippy, it would make me laugh to see the guy doing research papers on improving ai thinks it’s a garbage tier digital assistant that you yourself don’t even use and in fact would drop despite hundreds of millions of people using it daily🙂
i’m aware of how ai works at a fundamental level, they even have a visual on it:
A link to an LLM back end that’s not even in code.
And a link to something AI has been used for for years, just as I mentioned in my OC, but you’ve been hyperfixated on Clippy, so unsurprisingly things have whooshed past you. A traveller shone light on your magic and you don’t want to accept it’s not magic.
Also, I assume you have subscriptions or single pay options for papers, or at least access to a university that can get them for you at the normal fees?
Since you Google things and share them with me like they’re of any value, you can use Google to learn more about that too.
Clippy and I are old fr-… acquaintances.

I’m using it right now in LM Studio to translate text
10’s of millions of people are using at this exact moment to generate images, videos, text, audio translation, text translation, it goes on and on
It’s the exact opposite of clippy, it’s useful
Your exposure to AI is maybe new?

I’ll never stop being amazed at absolute plebs downplaying what is practically magic
Sure man, ai is clippy
Plebs?
I’ve been working on and with AI since 2012 lol.
And yeah, “practically magic” has told me enough. When we joke about people, the m-word is the always used when putting on a “normie” persona. I’m having an actual “found one in the wild” moment, it’s great.
wait you’ve been working on ai since 2012? sorry had no idea, link me some of your research papers on how you’ve improved ai! i’m interested :)
Sure. I even currently work at a university and am on the committee for AI so I can get a few of the others to share theirs on Monday too.
nah i don’t want theirs, i want yours, you’re the one who thinks ai is clippy, it would make me laugh to see the guy doing research papers on improving ai thinks it’s a garbage tier digital assistant that you yourself don’t even use and in fact would drop despite hundreds of millions of people using it daily🙂

same with evs, solar, solar batteries, smartphones, the new ai robots, we live in the most insane age

anyway looking forward to qwen3, let me know about those research papers on clippy, although i should probably ask why you’re wasting your time
Confirmed. New to the concept of AI.
