"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 always think it's funny how the example tech companies ALWAYS use when describing how their products make your life easier is "booking a flight". The only folks for whom this makes it easier are folks for who the price does not matter.

Well if it automatically searches for the best deal, wouldn't that make life easier? Though there are already websites for that too.

What's the best deal? A direct flight redeye? Or a daytime ticket with two layovers for $20 less? A $100 cheaper flight that gets in the night before to a city where hotels average $200?

And if you're thinking the LLM could just produce some options that might work before letting the user decide, well, that is what Google Flights already does.
