Unfortunately the AI Slop is probably the most effective way to fund AI research right now
- tsimionescu 11mo agoBut the point here isn't to fund AI research, it is to use AI to benefit concrete fields.
- troupo 11mo agoBy funding AI slop, you're funding AI slop, not AI research, or, quote, "drive adoption of AI across strategic and public sectors including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy, mobility, manufacturing, construction, agri-food, defence, communications and culture"
- mensetmanusman 11mo agoFalse, research works on grasping at the possible but not quite knowing how. Slop has stumbled into accidental success on a number of occasions.
- troupo 11mo ago> research works on grasping at the possible but not quite knowing how If these are public money, you want to reduce the blind grasping > Slop has stumbled into accidental success on a number of occasions. So, show me these occasions where AI slop led to "transformative potential by driving adoption of AI across strategic and public sectors including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy, mobility, manufacturing, construction, agri-food, defence, communications and culture."
