"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.

From his latest article:

One of my sources has come forward and brought me a story that will possibly burst the AI bubble. The reason they brought this to me is that I’ve shown — and will continue to show — that I actually give a shit about this industry and the people in it. If you’re wondering what the story is, know that it’s the information I’ve wanted for years, delivered as I have always wanted it, and I will treat it with the reverence it deserves. Imagine what the worst possible thing for me to get would be and you’re probably close.

I must say I'm pretty excited.

Who knows at this point? There is no shortage of grifters or "true believers" so it's hard to say. But having worked with several different LLMs across a variety of use cases, I can say for sure that none of them are being completely honest about their shortcomings. Each model has strengths and weaknesses, all of them have unresolved issues, and all of that stuff is being swept under the rug, with the products being touted as one-size-fits-all problem solvers.

Because it's profit driven, not research driven. The people holding the reigns really don't care about outcomes for the people using the products, only whether they can get paid for it.
