This appears to be a rare proper use of machine-learning tech.
No, they did not ask ChatGPT to whip them up a concrete mix. They (in co-operation with engineers) trained a mathematical model specifically for the task of predicting the performance of concrete mixes, in order to narrow down the number of mixes to do (time-intensive) real-world testing on. With a focus on also predicting the carbon-emission impact of the mixes.
This is the kind of technology we need more of. Not LLM slop.
I love how these tech companies are so desperate to prove that AI is useful that every time an engineer ever uses any kind of software that has even the tiniest element of machine learning they're all like, "See, AI did this! This was AI! Isn't AI so useful, and amazing, and definitely worth all the money we've spent and environmental damage we're doing!"
Update: I've just been banned from some of the db0 Stable Diffusion communities for being an "anti-AI troll," I think for posting this story?
db0 I love you guys but you do weird stuff sometimes
:first-time:
Honestlym It's just one mod and two bans. If it wasn't for the open modlog, people wouldn't even notice. Y'all are making two random comm bans bigger than they need to be.
I only noticed because it sent me notifications for it. I guess it is just one weird moderator though, for some reason I thought it was more of a db0 official thing but it looks like it is not.
Indeed, it's just that mod. I didn't know you get notifications when banned. I don't remember that being a lemmy feature.
There are dozens of us not on Lemmy...
(quokk.au is using Piefed)
Guess what? I am also banned and never had I ever interacted with this community. I think this issue needs to be raised on my instance…
Do you think that would be productive? (edit: ~~I have some kind of strong hunch that it's one of your admins.~~ it is not)
I think people are just weird sometimes.
If it's the witches and mushroom one the mod seems to have a hair trigger.
I don't believe you, Meta.
The only way to prove AI was indeed involved in the creation of this is if the building disintegrates in a stiff breeze and reveals a big tiddy anime chick with too many fingers and no feet.
