"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 hate AI itself plenty, but I hate the way regular people see AI even more. It's marketed as being this super smart always right do everything machine. And people believe it, they actively argue the AI is right or has certain capabilities, even tho it's obviously wrong and most certainly does not have those capabilities. They use it a lot and they keep on using it, even when it's wrong all the time. And a lot of people know it's wrong all the time, but they keep on using it. They gleefully exclaim their job is so much easier now that the AI does all the work. To me that just screams they were either bad at their job if the AI can do better, or they are now doing their job poorly with AI. And even if the AI did the job just fine, why would you be happy about that? That means you are going to get replaced by a bot.
We wouldn't have so much issues with AI at the moment if people just used some common sense and not believe every bit of marketing they ever see.
