"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.

Having worked in departments providing data all my career, I'm not surprised in the slightest that people do not care in any way about where the numbers they got come from.
Base line level of trust in co-worker comperence combined with either too much workload to give everything a fine toothed comb through, or too much laziness to bother.
Presented by F, slide deck created by E, based off conclusions made by D, from data formatted to look good to them by C, from work that they asked B to do, which was ultimately done by low man on the totem pole A.
All it takes is for one person in that chain to be considered trustworthy for every level above it to consider it trustworthy info by default.
