"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.

There is such an issue of people using it in place of doing basic critical thinking or for tasks that they should be able to easily just do and this leads to the atrophying of their skills. People who use it a lot have been shown to grow dependent on it and lose their ability to do tasks they used to be able to do without AI and it just really concerns me. No one should be that reliant on a tool that frequently gives incorrect information, discourages its users from thinking about the world around them less, and puts more control into the hands of tech billionaires. It makes me worried for society going forward.
