"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.

Flattery will get you everywhere. Notice how that phrase is ungendered.
Sure, but men are lonely.
More generalizations? Nice.
The male loneliness epidemic is well documented. Obviously women can be lonely, obviously not all men are lonely, but there's a general trend among the population that makes men more susceptible to sycophancy.
Imagine a man that never gets complimented by anyone in his life, who maybe doesn't even have anyone in his life, and now he's suddenly being told that his ideas are amazing. What do you think that would do to him?
Very good points, actually.
