+-=|_____ ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE _____|=-+
I don't really like AI right now. I've been working on a paper
about some of the bad and what I see as the abuse from the use
of Artificial Intelligence. I've been in the IT field for a long
time now and IT has been my life. AI has been something I've
been on the fence about and mostly avoided. I tried to start
using it via the hyped Rabbit R1. That system was a failure,
and mostly a eco system for delivering revenue into subscripts
for basic conveniences; DoorDash, Airbnb, ..etc. Although the
company claimed R1 could be trained to play Diablo-II, and do
other type of agent activities, there wasn't any API for things
I was interested in, like standing up Operating systems and
infrastructure, or playing Diablo-II. I'm not sure if their
demos were even real. I sent back the R1.
Time has passed since the R1 and the AI train is moving fast.
There are now systems with agents that might be able to perform
tasks I'm interested in, and related to the work I do. If I
don't explore AI I'm certain I will be obsolete or too far from
modern IT to hang on anymore. Part of me wishes to let it all
go, but the other part knows I'll feel like I missed out on some
interesting aspects of computing. So here I will try to start my
documentation of AI exploration.
Aspects of this will include things I don't like about AI, and
things I'm trying to do. This probably means I will have to
decide to let go of things I really enjoy like retro computing,
single board computers, and systems on a chip.
