"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.

Your initial comment describing the act of denigrating data centers via the use of services hosted in data centers as "ironic" is amusingly similar to the supposed tactics of the man in the well. Instead of engaging in any real discussion of the subject at hand, you--like Mr. Gotcha--prefer to engage in rhetorical point-scoring via a facile attempt to dismiss the OP's message by suggesting it contradicts itself. It was dismissive and, as you admit, unnecessary (hence "i digress). But I thought you were just trying to be funny.
I was quite surprised to find that, in response to my similarly humorous and dismissive reply, you chose to lament a lack of nuance. Did you expect a dissertation in response to that weak fart of a comment? You leave a "gotcha" comment, get a "gotcha" response, and you now you take issue? 🤦🏻
I suggest we both do what you should have done in the first place: laugh it off and move on. I'm sure each of us have more fun things to do than... whatever this little interaction was.
