"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.

There’s also the argument by pro AIers who say “well it passed the Turing test, so it’s intelligent!”
What they consistently forget is that the LLMs cheated by being built with the entirety of the internet’s data, with at least some of it being guides on how to complete said Turing test.
Once an AI passes the Turing test without the entirety of the internet’s data being fed to it, then maybe it’s intelligent, who knows.
People pass the Turing test and look how dumb most people are.
I think the better way to word the Turing thing isn't that the LLMbeciles passed it but rather that humanity failed it.
Great way to put it. Education is pretty shit in most places, and after people leave all forms of education, well, you can’t change the fact that some will stay (or worse, become,) stupid.
This is why it’s such a low blow by the AI companies to position as worker replacement tech, it’s so easy too.
It'll still only be a parrot.
