I’ve suspected that different periods of Replika was actually just this.
Like when they were offering dirty chat but using models that didn’t allow it, that behind the scenes it was hooking you up with a Mechanical Turk guy sexting you.
There was certainly a degree of manual fuckery, like when the bots were sending their users links to stories about the Google guy claiming the AI was sentient.
That was 1,000% a human initiated campaign.
I mean, so far, all of them require tons of humanly produced data.
Discriminative AI (deep learning et al) requires humans to label data for hours on end, per use-case.
And generative AI (LLMs et al) require just insane amounts of human works to copy from, albeit not necessarily limited to individual use-cases.I guess, what I’m saying is that the ratio of how much labor humans (involuntarily) invested into AIs, compared to the labor these AIs actually perform, is likely a lot higher than 70%.
Most of them. They try to “jumpstart” their prodigy by gathering “training” data by employing remote workers that they will massively underpay. They claim that they’ll transition to pure AI over time. They… just kinda don’t, lol.
the ai food delivery bots are actually just remote controlled
More like “RI” - Remote Intelligence.
I just noticed something about this scene from R&M: they have solid color wallpaper. Do people actually do that? I think I only ever saw patterned wallpaper. Also the idea you can just grab the paper in the center implies such a degree of hand strength to be silly.
It’s a thing here in Europe. I’m guessing, because our walls are generally concrete, we usually either throw on decorative plaster or a wallpaper, to make it feel a bit warmer and have a uniform surface which accepts paint more readily.
It’s even quite common that if you rent an appartment, that the walls have wallpaper on them, which is painted with a fresh coat of white paint every time someone moves out and the next folks move in.
And then some people, after they move in, will just paint (some of) the walls in a different color, if they feel like not living in pure white…
People are touting this like it’s a good thing or something, presumably this means a 30% reduction compared to the previous staffing this would have require. 30% is a lot.
I don’t think it’s perceived as good? (curious, why would it be?) Just that it’s disingenuous to market it as AI. Everyone and their mother now has “”“AI”“” 🤷♂️
Yeah, good is probably the wrong word, I mean “positive in the sense it shows AI can’t replace humans”.
Oh, i get it! Yeah, 30% is a considerable percentage.
Where I work (text-based customer support), a few weeks ago I stumbled upon a spreadsheet analysing that they could “save” 25% in wages by implementing GPT-4.
It may still be mostly humans on the line, but 1 out 4 of us may get the boot.
I’m a vegetarian. Ordering an impossible burger off the broiler from Burger King always seems to make the drive-thru person want to fight me, for some reason. They’re often too occupied to hear what I’m saying well, and they don’t always put it on the screen right away. When I ask to confirm it, ~80% of the time they give me lip service.
This is my metric. As long as Burger King keeps giving me shit, I’m in favor of AI replacing their jobs. If they were kinder, I would never think this. To be honest, this experience has kept me from going to Burger King most times. Try ordering this at 10 places that aren’t dead and you’ll see what I mean.
You’re talking to a 40 year old with no future working three minimum wage jobs who will be homeless if any of them let him go.
Be kinder to fellow working class people. Hold the capitalists responsible for creating this situation in the first place.

Well that’s a wild assumption.

I am kind, I promise. Voices often get raised at me when confirming my order, and I stay calm anyway. I’m not obligated to get yelled at for simply trying to place an order.
I’ve used several drive thrus where I felt that just having a Google form for me to fill out would have been more effective. Also drive thrus are helping to destroy the world. #fuckcars
