"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.

Also, they want everyone addicted so they can start charging for use. Ways to do this, let's use Gemini as an example:

  • Make google search not great so people turn to AI
  • Make AI incredibly great for search and free, free, free. It finds you videos and things to buy, it's a great personal assistant.
  • If you use it too much in an unspecified amount, they'll shut off the button for AI
  • Charge a small amount at first, then increase until you're paying a monthly premium.
