"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.

Part of the probleem is how broad the term ai is, and how narrowly it is used. People just mean autoregressor llms and maybe diffusion models, while the term ai is much broader than even machine learning (for instance formal reasoning), which is again broader than backpropagation with gradient descent (for instance boosted trees) which is again broader than generative ai (for instance classifiers and deep learning). All of these are definitely useful in science and engineering and have been for decades, although llms are now beginning to find uses as well.
