"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.

I don't, there's no way AI will actually be able to do even a fraction of what it's makers claim it can.
Doesn't matter what the actual capabilities are. What matters is what leaders in companies think they can do. And boy are there many companies drinking the AI kool-aid.
It does matter, because the work these people do actually needs to be done, and AI just doesn't have the capability.
So you're under the impression that capitalists are concerned with reality here? When did that last occur?
No it can't really do anything but if you're an idiot who never looks close it looks like it can and explaining takes a while and there's a lot of very rich liars who you can point to if you want to use it as an excuse to fire people fundamentally restructure the economy to be more anti human for the not rich so less people are allowed to exist have nice things live nice lives have a say in the world and have agency in how stuff functions by virtue of being involved and isn't that what really matters at the end of the day
Maybe get an AI to punctuate your sentences?
