"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 don't disagree that what's being falsely labeled as "AI" could be helpful when used in a judicious manner. The issue is that far too many become too comfortable with it, and start becoming less judicious (a.k.a. "lazy") in its use. In so doing, they start losing the skills needed to think things through for themselves. There have already been multiple reports of doctors and experts in various fields losing their diagnostic and analytic skills due to this effect. Once a majority of the population loses this skill, they become far too easily manipulated into marching to their own doom.
