AMD demos AI software at Computex that thinks the occasion is positioned in a highschool
Rumor mill: For all that Microsoft, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, and just about each different tech firm on the market claims that AI is revolutionary, it nonetheless will get some fairly basic items unsuitable. AMD, for instance, noticed an AI at its Computex demo declare the occasion’s location was in a highschool.
AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su spent a few of the firm’s keynote speech at Computex speaking about how its Radeon Intuition MI300X graphics playing cards pair properly with OpenAI’s new instruments, writes PC Gamer.
Su confirmed off a journey assistant constructed on GPT-4 referred to as Wanderlust. As Computex takes place in Taipei, Taiwan, the demo was centered on town. Sadly, the AI did not appear to know exactly the place the occasion was being held.
Wanderlust believed Computex was on the other aspect of the Taiwanese capital. PC Gamer’s Dave James notes that it wasn’t even pointing on the occasion’s previous location, however on the on the Changan Junior Excessive Faculty.
It might be that Wanderlust was highlighting all the metropolis of Taipei because the occasion location, although that is not precisely useful as it’s particularly held at Nangang Worldwide Exhibition Heart. Additionally, the purpose strikes to a selected space because the individual working the demo zooms into the map.
The demo moved fairly quick – Su would not even appear to note the snafu – however it’s simply one other instance of how AI, for all its developments, can nonetheless get issues unsuitable. Sending a load of tech followers right into a highschool is not going to color AI in a optimistic gentle.
The incident is not going to obtain as a lot consideration because the current Google AI Overviews fails, through which the search engine instructed customers eat rocks, put glue on pizza to assist the cheese stick, and extra hilarious, if probably harmful, recommendation. Google mentioned the difficulty was as a consequence of folks asking nonsensical questions to supply faulty outcomes, lack of strong data, and the AI’s lack of ability to detect sarcasm and satire; an article from the satirical web site The Onion was behind the rock-eating suggestion. Google additionally claimed most of the screenshots posted on-line have been pretend – one other instance of it blaming everybody however itself.
