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.

Had a presentation to make yesterday so figured fuck it, maybe the copilot integrated into power point can make this task I don't want to do easier.
So I made a title slide and explained what was going on, then tried to get it able to edit the current file. Wasn't able to but it was able to create a new file.
Took one look at the result and decided fuck it, I'll just do it myself. How much it tried to play up everything without really saying anything was almost nauseating.
So I guess thanks copilot for sucking so much it inspired me to just spit out a better presentation. At least better to my standards; I bet an MBA would have preferred the other one that acted like the whole category the task was in was my own work and needed to be explained to the rest of the team that has been doing related tasks longer than I have.
Better build the whole OS around this tech which basically just exploits how easily we're fooled by confident words.
