"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.

Don’t get me wrong, this is funny, but patently false
I would never actually rely on it though. Just because it worked this time, or even fifty times, doesn't mean it won't fuck it up at some point.
Damn, I checked using their website, that’s why.
I actually got this idea after testing it on Anthropic Claude, I’m still laughing at the fact our most advanced chatbots are struggling to do something as simple as that.
Is this in response to the TikTokker who asked ChatGPT to time his mile run? Asking because it vent fairly viral and the CEO even reacted to it. That may be why they pushed the feature out. I believe the user's name was Husk.
I thought of this during a debate I had with a colleague about generative AI
« -Come on, why would I trust the most advanced technology in the world if it cannot even tell the time when asked to? Even my kitchen microwave can tell the time
-Yes, but AI isn’t made to heat stuff
-…It does heat a lot of water, though »
Is it actually 60 seconds though or does it just trigger at 21:16:00?
It might work at the moment, one of the gripes I've had is that day to day previously working stuff doesn't work anymore. So it's hard to specifically rely upon specific behavior.
Especially since the tendency of the LLMs is to say "Ok, I've done X" even if it doesn't have a skill or access to do X. So you can't rely on it to even accurately indicate that it can't do it.
