"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.

...no?
We arent talking about performance of the app, we are talking about how much money it takes to make the product itself.
Its like arguing that we should stop having workers on a site job use power drills cuz they keep putting holes in everything.
Like... no... you should train your workers how to use a power drill correctly and to stop putting holes in everything.
And if you then go "oh cool so I should stop hiring new guys?" The answer is "the fuck are you gonna do when your senior guys retire, dumbass?"
You obviously still hire new guys... Just... fuckin train your workers to use the tools.
If you buy super expensive tools for your workers and then dont train them how to use them right, you dont get to be shocked when you find out the tools are being used poorly...
You can use AI efficiently and effectively but its not easy, these tools require training and skill to make them work well.
Companies keep telling their workers to use AI but arent spending the money to train them to use AI
You need like minimum 50+ hours of training baseline for these skills to even remotely make the tools worth using.
Its not even a lot but damn these companies wont even do that much.
Then its ShockedPikachu.jpeg when their untrained employees blow through 100k tokens in a day cuz they dunno wtf they are doing.
Bunch of idiots with power tools is what it is, lol.
