AI Deception: How Tech Companies Are Fooling Us

thinking AI is doing your self checkouts and then finding out its just 1000 people in India watching the cameras 24/7 sounds like a good south park episode

AI: All Indians

I work in an aerospace MRO company and the marketing team is now labelling EVERYTHING a computer in our company does as “AI powered”… Literally techs that existed decades ago (FEA simulation, self-filling forms, automated tool management system, data analytics tool, etc) is now “AI powered” just because they r jumping on the trend. Management is now even encouraging engineers to consult chatgpt for our calculations… while i know for a fact it cant even convert some units correctly. This is ridiculous

AI has replaced between 60-100 people from the company I currently work for... And complaints from clients have increased..... Great informative video. Thanks 😊

What amazes me the most is the fact that Amazon was trying these "walk out" stores in the US where people already perfected this type of shopping.

Let's not forget, Mark Cuban was 100% all-in on NFT's and defended $43 million Bored Ape prices.

When an industry focus on announcing eye-catching gimmicks rather than trying to solve the long-standing, fundamental problems(like instability and hallucination) of the technologies itself, you know this is a total scam.

My problem with AI is it is fundamental a statistical model based on large amounts of data. The key is the quality of the data initially used and used to update the model. It doesn't actually think in any real sense of the word. AI is very susceptible to "Garbage in, garbage out".

"Full Self Driving" ...actually just some dude halfway around the world remotely turning your steering wheel.

I worked for an accounting company from France that used hundreds of cheap laborer from Madagascar to manually input data from photos of actual bills people uploaded believing it’s OCR. Nowhere they mentioned it’s all done manually.

Cleaning toilets for a living might be the shittiest job I've ever had, but at least AI is unlikely to replace me.

AI is like 30 years ago when Intel used the term "MIPS" to promote CPU performance. MIPS stood for "Meaningless information to promote sales"

Wait, Amazon did something dishonest and unethical!? Gosh that's so out of character for them...

Just wait until they find out that every Alexa actually has a tiny person in it.

I would go further: we don't actually have AI. We have machine learning, which has shown itself quite good at faking intelligence, but not actually intellifent. ChatGPT, under the hood, is an overpowered autopredict.

A friend of mine is an electronic engineer with +30 years experience, so he started working with paper and pencil. He once told me :"now with a computer I can do in a few hours what once would have taken me days of work, but I still have to stay at the office 8 hours every day". I don't know what's gonna happen with the job market, but one thing's for sure. The rise in productivity is goign to go all in the pockets of the proprietors.

I worked with a company offering AI-powered coding services. While their AI models worked well 85%-90% of the time, it still wasn't good enough on its own. The models would hallucinate small, but important details that made the code unable to compile or unsafe to run. This meant that all of the code had to be manually reviewed, edited, or rewritten. It wouldn't surprise me if some executive decided to replace all of their developers with AI, realized that he screwed up, and then rehired people to do most of the work they were doing before under the guise of "supervising the AI".

I am a programmer and I have fully embraced using AI technology the moment it was available. Working inside of these tech companies I can comfortably say that AI is not the reason for tech layoffs. In fact the majority of the companies I work for will not even allow the use of it within the company. The bubble may be making companies more comfortable greatly cutting staff in the promise that they don't need those workers but its not reality. Most of it is being driven by market uncertaintay due to insanely high interest rates to curb inflation. Its a sledge hammer that kills the entire tech industry.

there was a little tiny slip of the tongue moment in this video and I'm so glad you kept it in the final cut. it's such a comfort to have little human touches like that while listening to discussion about something as cold and emotionally removed as current ai thanks for another great video!
