"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 mean, it is true that if you don't use a GPS or an electronic map that you do develop a better awareness of your surroundings and the street mapping. Same way using a guide to something doesn't let you really remember and commit to memory the task you're doing.
It's just that AI exacerbates that tendency tenfold, because you don't even have to follow a guide if the guide does it for you.
