"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 think most creative people who openly use AI say similar things. Even with programming, I don't ask it to code for me - I ask it to review what I wrote.
OOP is just too arrogant and ignorant to even consider this.
LLMs are a useful tool, but not a silver bullet, and if it weren’t for the shitheads overhyping them and plundering the world for profit, we’d likely not be seeing this level of backlash.
Lemmy in particular is big on self-hosting Jellyfin and the like, and running an open weight LLM on a gaming machine you already own is in the same spirit.
I have wondered if I could use AI to write unit tests, it would be worth it because it's only a hobby project and I'm not going to do TDD otherwise. But I'm loathed to actually give the AI companies any money, especially for something that I could technically do myself, even though I won't.
