"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.

It's not sunk cost fallacy at all. They see this as well worth the investment. They're making people put time into training their AI models. People are basically training the clueless intern who will take their job very soon. AI is done with training on all material that exists online. Now you have to force people to engage with it to give it more training.
It’s not at risk of taking anyone’s job anytime soon. They have yet to even come close to LLMs being able to “know” what a right answer is. All they’re doing now is generating what their models predict you want to see. That’s why they produce slop that breaks down if you look closely.
