"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.

I hate chatbots because they don't work. If any of this technology actually operated as advertised I would be ecstatic. But none of it does.
Not only has AI failed to give us a warp drive, it's also failed to do my very simple job for me.
They're quite good at generating text that sounds reasonably like speech to people. Problem is, that's not actually useful.
