"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.

Yeah, it's definitely the next Dot Com bubble. It'll eventually be about as evolutionary as the transition from Radio to Television, but there's gonna be a major course correction first.
“Pets.com, Webvan, Boo.com, eToys, and Kozmo will bravely lead us into the next Industrial Revolution”
Yeah that does sound dumb.
At least the internet had broad utility, just wasn't ready in 1999 to support e-commerce on that scale. It is now. I can't imagine a future where LLMs are similar. Even a theoretically perfect LLM is not like, actually knowledgeable.
