"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.

There are too many sponsored AI girlfriend apps.

You would think with new strict online safety laws about "protect the kids, show me your ID" this would be the single upside.

But somehow they aren't blocked. At all. Sponsored, even.

Like if they just pretended it's an actual safety for children thing they would remove it.

Just pretend. Please. Lie competently.

The smartphone app stores have never been about quality.

Back when the windows phone was a thing, all three companies were paying for apps just to pad the numbers.

I know this because a close friend at the time worked for a company that was paid per app he published to each of the stores.
