"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 absolutely terrifying. I am a returning student to uni in my thirties and the only person not using any AI. They literally depend on it.
I just had a classmate the other day turn to me, frustrated, saying "You ever ask chat(gpt) a question and it gives you a whole, like, paragraph you then have to read? like, why can't it simplify it?"
Did I mention I am an electrical/computer engineering double major? So yeah, even reading is too much for these kids. Future workforce is fucking cooked.
I have a friend who was frustrated that his programming exam was too hard (Python) and stated " why do I need to learn this? I can just use ai and get the job done ". We're absolutely fugged.
It's honestly disheartening. I understand our education system is not well in that tests aren't actually very condusive to learning, but they treat the idea of learning a skill like it's some obnoxious chore they just want over with so they never have to do it again when its like... bruh civilization/tech grows exponentially, y'all gotta learn your whole lives and it should be something you ENJOY it should give you pride to be good at something or understand a subject thoroughly.
i don't even know what to begin doing about this problem but even if you pretend the environmental impacts are fine/manageable, I can't help but think this shits gotta be destroyed for the future of humanity.
learning isn't fun for the vast majority of people, it's painful and miserable. they want to avoid it as much as possible.
