So, yeah, it seems like an apt comparison, if we are all textile workers now.

"prove theorems in research" - AI didn't prove any theorems, it merely regurgitated some words which, if translated into correct Maths - something it doesn't know how to do - gives a proof. None of it's answers were set out as proofs. Terrence Tao wrote a blog about this recently, and if you read it you'll find how much Mathematicians had to guide it along the way to arrive at an actual proof.

"half of these are outdated" - nope. AI still can't do Maths

"the nature of nondeterminism" - Maths is deterministic. AI is using heuristics when it should be using algorithms, hence it's inability at Maths

"its gonna be stupid sometimes" - it's ALWAYS stupid. Even the stupid can get 25% right on multiple choice tests - doesn't mean they know how to answer ANY of them

thats just your assumption missing a proof.
I hate AI even more than any other dictatorship in this world. Because thats what it is. I dont want to have it in my life. And the environmental destructive impact is devastating. All the fields of science togehther where AI - not this guessing shit - can be useful do not need those obscene data gulags. AI is TechCorpFashism!

I was going to say "no asbestos is useful" but thinking about that more I think you are correct, because so are LLMs in a very narrow setting, just like asbestos, but instead we have foolish business persons who want to put this stuff in everything.

As opposed to people who thought Conservatives were confused when they cheered when one of the Conservative speakers was say "Do you want impeachment?", and was not expecting the cheering then either...and figured they could point out that they were *supposed* to be opposed to another impeachment of Trump this recent year.

" it kind of does?" - no, it totally doesn't

"its generating some pretty decent proofs" - worded proofs, but as we've seen repeatedly https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/116000100388648367
it will often SAY the right thing to do, then not do it, because it doesn't understand what those words mean. Witness where it says "inside the brackets", but removes the brackets, and in algebra applies what it says to one side of the equation only, instead of both sides (and concludes "1=0" πŸ˜‚ )

The unmitigated failure of LLM technology to actually turn a profit is also a strong rejoinder to "this is the next industrial revolution".

What I'm always pondering is "What examples of world-changing technology in the past has required people to force it into other people's maws to get it used?"

The closest I can get to is vaccination, and that was a very different situation.

The owners were making 1000 to 10000 times more profit from the workers, but giving less pay and poorer conditions, though more people had jobs.

It was not about the machines, but objecting to greed.

The AI LLM is different:
The providers are not actually making a profit.
Contentious that the companies using make more money,
It may not work well.
A few providers.
Content often illegally obtained.
The marketing is lies.
