Oprah sucks. She unleashed Dr Phil and Dr Oz on the world. This special sounds about as useful as those snake oil salesmen.

Title had me thinking we’d get a 1 hour special with an AI generated Oprah. Can we have some pot gummies and that instead?

Aw, wish I didn’t read the article. I was temporarily thinking they created an AI version of oprah and there was going to be new oprah shows for the remainder of time. I’m pretty sure this will happen eventually and they should call it OpAIh.

Others on the social media network shared similar criticism about a perceived lack of balance in the guest list, including Dr. Margaret Mitchell of Hugging Face. “It could be beneficial to have an AI Oprah follow-up discussion that responds to what happens in [the show] and unpacks generative AI in a more grounded way,” she said.

A lot of people don’t realize there are two wars going on.

• AI vs anti-AI.

• Corporate API AI vs Open source, self hosted AI.

Given this is Lemmy, I would think a lot of us would care about the latter, but everyone (here, and elsewhere) only seems to care about the former, and are content to give Sam Altman a monopoly and destroy the planet with his crazy “outscale everyone else” ideas (instead of, you know, making AI more efficient and training it legally and transparently).

Oprah? Did AI get so advanced that it invented a time machine and sent us back to the 1980s? Next you’ll be telling me that Phil Donahue is back.

You get an AI and you get an AI and you get an AI

I am honesty waiting for the day, “when AI can solve all the physics problems”. I mean with respect to where AI currently stands and the very fact that we cannot define generalisation with respect to deep learning. How can they make such bold statements without talking any accountability and responsibility? I agree it is pure corporate greed motivated PR show but there should be some level of sanity, responsibility and accountability
