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.

So much ai slop in the professional world too
yea i heard research papers are plagued with them, and it already adds into the slop that is being produced otherwise by professors prior to AI, low quality slop just to get thier CV looking more robust for employers, and now with AI its even worst. back in the 2010s, a college oral talk, one of the presenters to the PHD person doing the talk think it is so "successful " that you have to write dozens of papers just to get hired a research company/university(40+ papers), how much of those 40+ are just slop/fluff pieces and not something new.
I got my first obviously AI email from a boss recently. The tone didn't match his normal cadence of writing, it was sterile, repetitive, and could have really been summed up as, "Do you have additional information about item X that can help explain this to our customer?"
It was three paragraphs long.
So, I was wondering, will you reply efficiently with your own words or, in order for them to learn to respect your time, will you use AI to reply?
I walked into his office and answered verbally, lol.
That's even more efficient =)
