I really like your core point. I don't know anything about Suno and that's what people are picking at, but I'll offer a supporting example from pre-LLM days: the number of people who were actually willing to dig through source code was nonexistent. I've worked in ML/AI since forever and I would say roughly 1 in 5 to 1 in 20 developers I've worked alongside were actually willing to just go to Github and look up why code might be failing and get to the bottom of it.
The same is true for LLMs. You can get Claude to spew 2,000 lines of garbage in 15 minutes, but the number of developers actually willing to sit there and reason over the output and make the tweaks--often very minimal tweaks--that make it go from 90% correct to 100% correct are vanishingly few. And it's typically just laziness and a lack of any kind of genuine interest in the field.
This is really cool. One of my favorite parts of the internet is getting to see these kinds of projects by people who aren't afraid to tear into stuff and take it apart and put it back together.
But you do all that for privacy... and then you use CarPlay?
Not long ago I started having an issue with my eye. I called around and they said I should get seen ASAP, same day if possible, but it wasn’t worth the ER and it was a five day wait for an appointment.
I was pretty freaked out. During that time, I tried diagnosing it with AI. When I finally got to the appointment, the actual doctor sat down, looked at all the unremarkable images, asked me one (1) question, ordered another image and diagnosed the issue. When I looked back, in all that time, the AI had mentioned it exactly one time early on, ruled it out immediately based on a flawed understanding of the symptoms, and never brought it up again.
Just my anecdotal evidence, but I’d never trust any AI on its own. My doctor can use it if they want, I can’t.
You think that they have “days leading up to consultation”? Please don’t be so disingenuous; I’m sure you know exactly what the person you’re replying to meant.
I don't think the bake-off to decide which superpower has the worst human rights record is going to land where you want it to. Hint, they both suck.
FWIW, I'll take the one not dropping bombs to keep their BFF happy, boosting right-wing shitheads, threatening to invade their real allies and slapping dumb tariffs on everyone.
They both suck, but one of them literally harvests organs from political prisoners.
I’m honestly torn on which one I’d pick, but there’s a TON of likely state-sponsored pro-China propaganda on the internet, so I consider it a patriotic duty to push back for the sole reason that we can still freely talk shit about the one (for the time being, as long as you don’t mention the blessed martyr Charlie Kirk), whereas the other blocks the internet and imprisons people for dissent.
