"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.

Yes. That is how the internet will be used, to a significant degree. Even today AI represents an extremely powerful and astonishingly human-adapted user interface.
The internet brought a vast quantity of knowledge together and made it accessible to anyone, in theory. In practice you need arcane knowledge to get what you want. You need to wiggle the mouse just so, need to know the abstract structure of the internet, the peculiarities of search terms, … it’s eminently doable but it’s not natural or intuitive. You must be taught how to use it.
If you put a medieval Tamil farmer in a room with a ChatGPT audio interface they could use it and have access to all of that internet knowledge.
I understand a lot of the backlash against AI but I don’t get hating on it because of how good of an interface it makes.
Unfortunately youre right. If it wasn't completely owned by massive corps pushing techo-facist ideology and mass surveillance, i could maybe see it as a positive thing. But it will not be used for good in the long run.
Right. So that is what we need to change.
You cant change that, short of sabotaging data centers or getting rid of billionaires.
Better to rally against it and not use it whenever possible.
