"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.

We'd still need librarians to do the work at the physical libraries, and they're always going to be the better people to ask. They're not just people who like books; there is a lot of studying and training to be a librarian - I know 2, and they're both among the smartest people I know, and definitely the most well-read. I'd go to them for a book-related question before I do anything else.
It's not as convenient as just typing something up online, but that's kinda the point. Unchecked pursual of convenience is what got us here - do the tried and true thing that takes a bit more effort, and you'll be surprised at how much better it works than the convenient option.
