"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.

Well, I think having a hard time reading criticism over two paragraphs and then citing a Harvard [Gazette] article as evidence of it equating to a lobotomy is just, well, that's just the whole package. Did you even read the study that they cite? It doesn't say what you seem to think it says, and you just inadvertently called the use of any computer screens and text editors for notes as lobotomizing as the Gazette article does not exclusively pathologize AI tools.
Was "Harvard" meant to sound smart? Very typical liberal response to the gentlest and slightest notion that how you think is harmful, lmao.
For someone so insistent on demonstrating (or performing) your apparent intellect, your inability to understand the concept of hyperbole is a bit odd.
The "two paragraph Gazette article" links to a 209-page MIT study. Before we began our overreliance on slop summaries, human journalists would often summarize things themselves. I'd encourage you to read it - all on your own, no AI!
And it's not that I have a "hard time" reading your r/iamverysmart level responses, it's just a lack of willingness to waste my time on people who tell me I'm ableist for calling out AI lobotomites. Someone who would make that response certainly has nothing of value to offer me in the following wall of slop-sympathizer text.
I'm also very much not a liberal lol
You're not a liberal, of course, you just happen to think in terms of liberal values and subscribe to liberal institutions. Also, yeah like this isn't an edited article or something, but I actually have a formal education on these topics, which is actually clear in how I explain these things like, I know what I'm talking about lol.
I was so gracious with you too, you were advocating for genocide without even realizing it (because yes, you are a liberal) and I actually tried to explain it in a way that minimized blame (because I know y'all don't handle criticism well).
