      You’re going to be happy about its application in biochemisty, genetics and astronomy. The volumes of data needing analysis are staggering, they’re just the perfect tasks for a robot brain.

        Different than LLM. It’s other machine learning that are just using the AI label now to join the hype train. Not you same as what openAI and other AI companies are selling

          But… isn’t it the other way around? LLMs are just one type of AI and they used the overall term AI to hype their products because it sounds better.

            Kind of. AI is now the catch all now but that’s because LLM were called generative AI. So the older terms all followed suit to catch the hype train. But most of the problems with AI are LLM specifics.

              Generative AI is a specific subset of Deep Learning, which is a subset of Machine Learning, which is a subset of AI. Generative AI includes more than just LLMs. It also includes the image and video AI creations. There are also GenAI than makes music.

              Machine Learning is typically creating versions of things that existed prior, or recreating things from behavior extracted from prior data. Deep Learning is similar but employs neural networks of various types. The distinction between GenAI and Deep Learning is that GenAI creates something that never existed before, essentially original works.

              Your base point in this conversation stands though. The Deep Learning used in science for analyzing patterns or behavior in, say, biology, is very different (and its more useful) than GenAI and the slop it can produce.

                The chart is good and all but I’ve been a data scientist now for almost 10 years. Most of these terms have changed more then once. There are mostly marketing terms. I’ve done deep learning, machine learning, data mining (my favorite term), statistical learning, predictive analysis and now AI while using mostly the same things.

        ML has existed for a while, it has been in phone camera software for 7+ years now, for example. The way everything keeps getting lumped in this “AI” buzzword is hilarious.

        Its an imperfect solution to an otherwise difficult task. I don’t know if anyone in science should be happy to use it since its results aren’t generally reproducible (a problem that already existed in biochemistry and genetics) but I could see it as being helpful at narrowing down datasets too large for people to handle.

        I think with this epstein stuff too if the code and training data is not open there’s always a possibility AI has been set to filter something (such as Trump’s name).

    Kinda looks like it’s a data set from the scrubbed files with no mention of the president’s name. I’ve seen his name in formerly released Epstein files so I know it should be there. There was a contact page with about 20 trump phone numbers and his email address released in the past along with other files.

    Nobody here allowed to say anything good about this. Yall hate on AI like it’s your job.

    EDIT: pay attention to all the downvotes. It shows how many people feel personally attacked by the comment, and thus proving my point

      Bonus points for failing to discern the source of nearly everyone’s dislike of AI - rampant theft of independent artists’ work to produce drek art which profits random wankers, its use to replace humans and dispossess them of their jobs via obsolescence, etc. This guy siccs AI on a project of a kind that’s arguably its best intended use (for a laudable purpose), and people approve, but all you can say is that people are hypocrites for having criticized AI’s most common, shitty uses.

          AI pattern matching to be used for searching is a thing that existed before the current LLM and image generation shitfest that we complain about using ‘AI’ since that is the common shorthand used by media and shills.

          A search that returns unaltered search results is very different from an ‘AI summary’ that is full of errors.

            Um…

            The Redditor, nicko170, said they had a large language model transcribe, collate, and summarize the documents and built the database to make the files more easily searchable.

              I think there is some nuance that you are missing.

              This is still part of a search process that makes the files more easily searchable. The end result is still searching the documents to find where in the documents something is. The summary in that case is to help confirm what you are looking for is in those results. The summary is not the end result.

              That is very different than presenting the summary as the end result, which is the LLM AI hype train from OpenAI and similar companies.

              The same tools can be used in multiple ways, some are positive and some are not. Like how an axe can be used to chop down a tree or murder someone.

                When somebody uses AI in a way you don’t like

                That’s AI slop!

                When somebody uses it in a way you do like

                I think there is some nuance that you are missing.
