"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.

LLMs are a pretty good tool to summarize any subject, or present it with different words or in a different approach... They are a statistical word predictor tool after all.

So yeah, if you understand that LLMs:

  • don't possess intelligence;
  • they are just reproducing patterns from the training material used;
  • it's impossible for them to contain ALL "knowledge" from the training material;
  • the "context" provided directly influences the response

Then, I'd say that LLMs can be used as a very good facilitator to learn about almost any subject that has already been documented in any word format in almost any language.

your bulleted list has me suspecting you used an llm to write this. TRAITOR
