"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.

It's just another tool for companies to evade costumer confrontation. It's just another tool to score online likes for the least effort. It's just another tool to grift It's just another tool to claim creativity while no creativity was part of it.
And then there's an issue of fascism. From one source of "oversight" AI gives people what they "need to know", how to write things, what decisions to make. It is "handy", but it takes over control. AI tells you both what to find online and how to be found easier. And in that way AI tells you what is "normal", "protect against misinformation", and explains what's the new "truth". That gets rehashed until everything is mixed together into a beige mash, and only central "oversight" is allowed to tell "no"... why? euh, Black box decisions. Perhaps we should call it Techno-Fascism.
But for the rest, it's a great tool to be used in the field of science.
