I need to catch up on training. I need an LLM that I can train on all my ebooks and digitized music, and can answer questions "what's that book where the girl goes to the thing and does that deed?"
Existing implementations can probably do that already.
I'm sure; I just don't know how. I need to set aside some time and educate myself.
Frankly, this generation of AI I find rather dull. It won't directly lead a AGI, although I'm sure it'll be a component, but I think that'll be another 10-20 years before the next breakthrough. I personally don't think it's as interesting as the symbolic, knowledge-based systems of the mid-80's; at least those were reasoning systems. LLMs look impressive to lay people (including myself - I understand the general concepts, but have no experience with the programming or training, so I'm just another lay user), but there's no reasoning or understanding behind it, and if what it produces is truthful or accurate, it's largely on accident. So I've had trouble getting excited about it.
I mean literally just go to chatgpt or whatever and ask it "what's that movie with Morgan Freeman playing God" and it'll give a few guesses. For common info, it's usually pretty good.
I don't want ChatGPT to remember that I was searching for Cafe Flesh by description.
Interesting idea!
Well, it's either that or finding a Lemmy community for "what's that book" and posting a long description of how you remember the book.
I did this recently about a TV show I once saw an episode or two on broadcast TV in the early 90's. Only I completely misremembered it; I thought one of the main characters was a little girl when, in fact, it was a grizzled old woodworker. I mean, really, Brain? What the actual fuck? Luckily, from the context and time period, someone recognized it, but I no longer trust my own memory (if I ever really did).
"So, I read this book once - I think there were two or three in the series - and it was about some little furry girls who find a magic potion in a cave, but the potion is poison that can kill everyone in the world, and they had to take it to a special magic hole and throw it in. And they're being chased the entire time by ghosts on ghost horses. I think there are trees in it." - me, trying to describe the LOTR. Thanks, Brain; you're a big help.
