"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 have barely used any of the AI products that have been around for the last few years. But what little I have used them for they've been fairly adequate for my desires I can't imagine paying for that though.
Like I use co-pilot (because management insist we use it for something), to rewrite emails into corporate speak. And I guess it's nice not to have to do that anymore but it's not something I'd pay for.
I just don't understand these AI bros I really don't.
I'm a programmer, AI is really good at programming and I use it everyday at work. But you really need to be careful and read and understand EVERY LINE the AI gave you and judge if it's correct architecturally, maintainable, fits the direction of the product etc etc etc.
I let it write tests and mundane mapping functions mostly, but it's still pretty useful as an "assistant".
The tech bros all come from this programming world and I think they got a bit too enthousiastic about the technology. An LLM is not a human brain.
