"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.

I had a lecturer that was very anti-internet. But she didn't have any real sort of point, she just didn't believe things written on the internet had the same integrity as physically published articles. She was difficult to because a lot of modern research (anything published after the year 2005) has never been published in a printed format, except to the extent that someone had printed the online version. So all my references had URLs in, which was bound to set her off.
Even if I was trying to reference some work published in the 19th century a lot of time that work had been subsequently uploaded to the internet and the best reference would be an online archive. So then I would have to go and find some book that had it in. It was a giant waste of everybody's time. Every other professor was fine with it.
