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.

Anyone else experience this?

You run into a niche or weird issue. So you google "how to x", "y not working on z" or "Error code: 123"; The 1st, 2nd, 3rd page are infected, probably 90% AI slop. Don't have any luck even with the one blog post that was probably written by a human.

Now I have to go to YouTube. Look for a tutorial, 1st, 2nd, 3rd video all AI. AI voice, AI avatar, bot comments like "๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜".

Finally I reach a real video from a year or two ago that actually solved my issue. Took 4 hours when normally I could find it in 1 hour tops.

100%.

I ran a team of techs for a few years. Before 2022, you had to eliminate possibilities, Google solutions, test, verify, etc... There could be any number of possibilities, depending on the problem. After LLMs, the sleuthing and learning became phrasing and forgetting. The phrasing being the prompt to the LLM.

I even find myself getting rounded off at the edges. I throw a script or code I write into an LLM and have it check it for continuity or errors when something doesn't work. It's a slippery slope.
