Fuck AI

"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 wonder if they are just so careless that they don't consider any implications of what they were doing, or are they testing waters about how much reaction they receive?

90% chance this was “you need to add AI features or you’re going on a PIP”

Might have been generating more training data.

Textbook case of "they didn't stop to think if they should".

Fair point. Alphabet may even have decided it was a cost-effective way to generate publicity for Google Earth, which has been out of the headlines for a decade or more.
