"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.

People were writing 10+ page reports before computers. Writing shit by hand.
People were doing that after computers as well. See exams.
I never liked that. It felt like only 20% of my mental bandwidth went into words, sentences and ideas. The rest went into printing characters on the paper by using the slowest method possible. No wonder why the text sucked every time. Using a computer improved text quality and output rate significantly.
Hey, we got a typewriter at some point, it didn't help much with having to start the whole page over every time you made a mistake, but it did get the teachers off my back about my terrible handwriting so that was nice.
why didn't you just use the backspace key? /s
We've had White-out for almost a century now. They most certainly could've corrected those mistakes instead of starting over.
Whiteout was way out of the price range of my impoverished student ass.
Huh. It was a mandatory part of our back-to-school kit for most years here.
