"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.

What i don't like about this, is the ignorance towards every other field.
The ai is not allowed to tell you that you might have some illness but the LLM is allowed to vibe code the system that holds your medical data, or the software of the medical device that analyses your e.g. blood and provide the data to the doctor.
Systems and professions are interconnected. Chatgtp telling me that I have cancer is not as bad as chatgtp making mistakes causing my medical data to be stolen and sold.
I'm on the same side as you, vehemently fuck generative AI, however the difference between some LLM output incorrectly telling you that you have cancer and a shitty coder vibe coding with severe vulnerability is the ability to place blame, there's a person who's job it was to make sure info is secure and the vibe code actually works. There is no singular person who is traceably culpable for shitty AI output telling you bad info.
I am with you but...
Bad code that puts out wrong information to a doctor or endangers my data, threatens my safety without me having any control over. No amount of my own expertise will protect me. Simply because I don't control the situation. No amount of awareness campaigns will fix my issue.
But awareness campaigns have successfully communicated to most of us that googling your health issues will result in nothing of value, and usually a cancer diagnosis. I can choose to protect myself by not asking a llm. Like I protected myself by not asking google.
