Fuck AI

"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.

I'm not certain, but it could be that as the cost goes down, they keep bringing out more powerful models, so the cost per query stays constant.

If this is accurate, their need to compete with each other to have "the best" AI is creating a prisoner's dilemma where everyone loses because the individually-optimal choice is worse than if they all agreed that today's AI is good enough and concentrated on affordability and minimising energy/water usage instead.
