"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.

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).
