"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.

Sigh... my university has seen a jump in admisson marks the last few years, and every semester we have 30-50 students turfed out for generative AI assignments handed in. They even leave "generated by ChatGPT" in the text. Most courses are ending digital testing and reverting back to paper quizes and exams, because the cheating is getting worse, and easy to detect because we add in a bait question we know AI gets wrong.
Their high school teachers are telling them AI is the future. Tip for you kids: don't take career advice from someone who ended up a high school teacher.
I know several teachers, they're doing an important and increasingly difficult/thankless job. Fuck you.
I have former teachers that screamed at me for saying "typing is the future" wanting to relegate art classes to be a few lessons of how to prompt AI image generators. Just like how handwriting strengthens a lot of other skills (usually fine motor ones), art is also good at auxiliary skills. Of course it can be done wrong (Kodály method is infamous for reverse teaching to "force kids to count more"), but that doesn't invalidate it, and I personally hated writing for uncomfortable pencils and bad holding methods (was instructed to hold on the tapered off position "for better control" as strongly as possible).
That's a full 4-year degree in my area.
It's a portable skill that my wife's sister leveraged to move to Europe. She's had a great life there.
