"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.

No, you're just overestimating where the average is.
People are vastly stupider and more useless than you give them credit for, and in a slop saturated world we'll all get even more stupid and useless due to rampant brain rot.
We'll reach human level artificial intelligence not by making LLMs intelligent (that's fundamentally impossible with their design), but by lowering humanity's average intelligence until it's below that of a slime mold.
And a significant percentage of humanity is already there.
