"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.

Nah, fuck that guy. Even I’d avoid using AI for planning a date because she isn’t dating the AI. Also, it indicates he’ll use her. Definitely avoided a bad apple.
A colleague of mine is trying to run a tech startup - some slop based AI garbage for healthcare. He's a parent at my kid's school. The school has been doing a pasta dinner fundraiser for over 3 decades. This dude is one of the heads of a PTA type group. This year he made the decision to bake the pasta instead of boiling it because he asked chatgpt how to make pasta for a lot of people. It came out fine, but it saved 0 time, and tasted just as mediocre as the year prior. Why would you contribute to the environmental destruction and waste of electricity that is AI just to ask how to fucking cook pasta? He went on this whole rant about how he would have never had such a great idea were it not for AI. The man is clearly part of the problem.
Heaven forbid you pick up a cookbook!
Do you have any good cookboks about cooking for large groups? I'd legitimately love to add one to my collection. There's definitely a different approach needed for it than every day cooking or even dinner party cooking
I do actually. But it's very very old and it goes on about things like tapioca pudding and instructs you to put lard into everything, and all the instructions are in Imperial units except when it instructs you to put in "some salt" or a "moderate amount of lemon juice", and you just have to guess, so a certain amount of mental rewriting is required.
It's for cooking school meals for kids. I think it was written in the 1950s and I don't think it would include anything as exotic as pasta.
Do you mind sharing the title or a pic of the cover? My wife actually collects old cookbooks and that sounds like a birthday present she'd love
Id look for something specific to catering
All that the AI will have done will be to have pulled the information off some website. You could have just googled this and got the same result.
or gone to DDK or Ecosia or the other search engines
