It is destroying far more jobs than it is creating, so no it's not creating jobs, because when we say that what we mean is that it's creating NET jobs. So just no.

Also, even if that were not true, it's doing it at a rate that will kill people, if it hasn't already. Therefore celebrating it or even making excuses is ghoulish at best.

What if the new tools scoop you, making all the work you have done in a problem worthless to you overnight? Was it still a good idea to use them when they eliminated your justification for existence? We're all destroying ourselves by using these things.

Artificial does not mean not real. It means made with intent and skill. (The amount of skill varies.) But it's not intelligent, so it's not artificial intelligence.

A better but not perfect term would be "simulated intelligence". It gives a similar but not equivalent result to intelligence. It can even appear intelligent, and it's often used in this way. But then it does things which are obviously a product more of the RNG than anything else, and you can see through the facade. If you said something as stupid as it's capable of you would likely notice as you said it, and maybe even as you were preparing to say it. LLMs don't have whatever it is that we use to do that, obviously, or they would do it too.

Comment Re:tie it to a case number (Score 0) 82

How do you propose that this would work?

Cop puts in a case number. Foreign system queries cop system, asks "is this a valid active case number?" Cop system responds "yes" or "no" and foreign system reacts accordingly. Rate limiting and fail2ban or similar prevents an attacker from using it to enumerate valid active cases, though that information is probably public and available via FOIA anyway.
