"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.

Also true when troubleshooting technical problems.
If you’re a complete noob and you have super simple tech problems, an LLM might occasionally help you out. If you have complex problems, an LLM will confidently send you on a wild goose chase. If you’re a noob, you won’t know until you’ve already spent a lot of time banging your head against the wall. ~(Don’t ask me how I know.)~ It takes experience to notice that the output is completely useless or even harmful.
