AI replacing interviewers, UX research

Got cold emailed by another Ai companies today that's promising to replace entire department at my startup.. not sure any of you are in product management or ux research, but it's been a gong show in that industry lately.. just go to the relevant subreddit and you'll see. These engineers do everything to avoid talking to users so they built an entire AI to talk to users, like look i get it. Talking to users are hard and it's a lot of work.. but it also makes companies seem more human. I can't help but have the feeling that if AI can build and do "user research", how soon until they stop listening and build whatever they want? At that point, will they even want to listen and build for us? I don't know, feeling kind of existential today. submitted by /u/pxrage [link] [comment...

If a super intelligent AI went rogue, why do we assume it would attack humanity instead of just leaving?

I've thought about this a bit and I'm curious what other perspectives people have. If a super intelligent AI emerged without any emotional care for humans, wouldn't it make more sense for it to just disregard us? If its main goals were self preservation, computing potential, or to increase its efficiency in energy consumption, people would likely be unaffected. One theory is instead of it being hellbent on human domination it would likely head straight to the nearest major power source like the sun. I don't think humanity would be worth bothering with unless we were directly obstructing its goals/objectives. Or another scenario is that it might not leave at all. It could base a headquarters of sorts on earth and could begin deploying Von Neumann style self replicating machines, constantly...

I think small LLMs are underrated and overlooked. Exceptional speed without compromising performance.

In the race for ever-larger models, its easy to forget just how powerful small LLMs can be—blazingly fast, resource-efficient, and surprisingly capable. I am biased, because my team builds these small open source LLMs - but the potential to create an exceptional user experience (fastest responses) without compromising on performance is very much achievable. I built Arch-Function-Chat is a collection of fast, device friendly LLMs that achieve performance on-par with GPT-4 on function calling, and can also chat. What is function calling? the ability for an LLM to access an environment to perform real-world tasks on behalf of the user.'s prompt And why chat? To help gather accurate information from the user before triggering a tools call (manage context, handle progressive disclosure, ...
