"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.

Terrible analogy.
The library everyone built is still there, free of charge for everyone to use.
What AI companies have built is an assistant who has photographic memory and has read everything in the library.
You’re still free to use the library to find what you want, but the library is not using the Dewey decimal system.
You’re also free to build your own knowledge base using the information from the library if you want to, and charge for access or give it away for free.
Photographic memory isn't quite right. It's more like photographic memory with a side of alzheimer's. It can oscillate back and forth between knowing everything and making things up, leaving it unreliable.
And tells you to eat rocks and glue.
