(Oops. Too excited. Sorry for the typo!)

There was one review I couldn't fit into the post, so I figure I'll share it here to give you a sense of who's excited about Aspect.

I'm fascinated by the user who is missing out by not being able to send videos to a chatbot.

I'm fascinated by the Möbius-strip logic that some AI text sites come up with. Like, here's one from an AI detector, explaining why you should run an AI detector on your homework before turning it in:

There are a lot of good reasons to avoid any program that purports to distinguish AI-generated text from human-generated text. This one, which I think comes from an AI-generated article, is maybe the worst:

Intuitively, you might think that it's better if AIs make small errors rather than large ones. But I'm not convinced that's the case, at least not with public-facing AI applications.

Companies won't regulate themselves. There's no incentive to act altruistically if you don't think your competitors will follow suit. If we want #AI technologies to adhere to the public good, we have to be willing to impose regulations.

I wonder how much of the hype in the AI bubble consists of people saying something bad as if it is good?

One of the biggest problems with LLMs is that they lie confidently. "Wrong but plausible" is the WORST thing a text can be! And yet here it's sold as a nearly-optimal situation?
