"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

And in the end a human signed a check. The AI exists only to delay that.
EDIT: I keep thinking about how poor a response was, because the AI was responsible for promising the customer a refund against its company's policy, but the courts only forced the company to comply after a lawsuit and an average person isn't going to consistently sue corporations for refunds.
I definitely know of some companies that actually give the LLM real power
And I love them for that.
I think it's mostly internal agentic AI that has the power to change stuff. I'm not aware of any company that has a customer facing one, mainly because if there was they would be bankrupt by now from someone tricking it into "refunding" their entire liquid cash or deleting every database it can touch or something.
