"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.

The copy machines will learn eventually with massive PCB SaaS like Altium and AutoCAD Eagle who'll probably be working out, if they haven't already, how to reword their EULAs so they can use PCB designs from industrial companies to train LLMs and then sell that back to their customers as a way of cutting down on design staff.
I have heard whispers in the wind that software like Autocad will transition to web based apllications, they say "oh you wont need a big beefy PC with good graphics card and lots of ram, just a simple workstation" and all i hear is "do all your designs on our servers and in return for saving money on hardware we will retain the software at all times, train AI on your IP and onsell your designs/concepts/engineering as we see fit."
