Hello, I am Agajan 👋

Short bio

My name is Agajan Torayev. My background is in Applied Mathematics and Informatics (Diploma), Computer Science (MSc), and Manufacturing Engineering (PhD). Currently, I am CEO of computer vision startup Robominder AI where we try to build plug-and-play vision-based inspection for industrial settings. You can find me by torayeff handle on LinkedIn, GitHub, X and Google Scholar.

Some of my random thoughts:

• 2024-06-01: GenAI is good at general tasks, like generating images similar to a reference. However, if you use your own photo or that of someone you know well, you'll see that GenAI struggles to create accurate likenesses. It's like seeing identical twins; initially, you can't tell them apart, but after a few days, you start noticing differences. GenAI can create images of "identical twins," not the same person. The same applies to text generation. If you ask it to write about something you're an expert in, you'll notice the text isn't at an expert level and can identify where the AI made mistakes.
• 2024-04-27: Digital workers are the future. They will make a dent in industries relying on repetitive tasks such as customer support, human interaction, product advertisement, and sales. However, they might struggle in industries relying on super accuracy, such as finance, regulation, law, and medicine.
• 2024-04-27: In the next 5 years, we can expect a software revolution in industrial robotics. Specifically in robot controllers and their operating systems. Similar to Symbian OS vs Android OS.
• 2024-04-27: I thought that LLMs were cool, then I thought hype. Now I again think that they are cool.
• 2024-04-27: At the moment I believe that companies checking regulations and doing due diligence in fintech with LLMs will not survive. Mostly because of hallucinations.
