Are you saying linear algebra is equivalent to current AI models? I really hope not.
I'm not even sure what you mean by equivalent. Is an airplane equivalent to aerospace engineering? They're two different things.
AI models, the neural network ones, are essentially just a bunch of tensor multiplication. Tensors are a fundamental part of linear algebra and I hope I don't have to keep explaining the joke.
The point is that no amount of being angry and toxic on the Internet will make AI disappear.
In addition, what most people are complaining about (the exploitative way that AI is being used) is not an AI problem, it is a capitalism problem. So, not only is the rage and anger useless but it is pointed at the wrong target.
Saying people should stop complaining about something shitty just because you think it will continue to exist is ridiculous. Saying that current AI models are just a bunch of tensor multiplication seems like a gross over simplification of systems that are increasingly harder to understand. Linear algebra isn't new but this isn't just linear algebra. People should keep bitching about AI until it either dies or finds an entirely new business model based on not being pieces of shit.
How can AI die? What does that even mean?
It's math. You can write the algorithms on a napkin from memory. It cannot 'die'. You're tilting at windmills, there's nothing to kill.
You're mad at the people who are using the productivity gains resulting from this new technology and eliminating jobs for people.
That isn't an AI problem. The same thing happens every time there is a new productivity saving device. It doesn't result in the workers earning more money from increased productivity, it results in a huge amount of people getting fired so profits can go up.
You're not mad at AI, you're mad at capitalism but it sounds like you lack the perspective to understand that.
