"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.

This might be a joke, but it’s making a very important point about how AI is being applied to problems where it has no relevance.

Art can be a joke, a joke can be art

That's what I meant.

I can't remember who it was (I want to say Chip Lord?) but someone critical of their work asked them, "what is art?" and he answered them by putting up a display of the word "ART" in giant letters.

Yep, there's flavor text at the bottom saying exactly that:

But this isn't your standard piece of tech; instead, it is a clever parody, an emblem of resistance to the unrelenting AI craze.

CalcGPT embodies the timeless adage - 'Old is Gold' - reminding us that it’s often rewarding to resort to established, traditional methods rather than chasing buzzword-infused cutting-edge tech.
