"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 feel like Spotify is coming alive, and you can literally start talking to it,” Söderström said.

I don't want to talk to my tools, I want them to do things. Introducing a layer where misunderstanding is rampant (conversation) is a horrible experience.

I'm starting to get the feeling that AIs are a lot like monorails.

Yeah, same here, so many cases they want to champion a "conversation"... No, I want the simple and precise interactions for these things, maybe a chat can work for a 'search' dialog, but for a music player, it's job is to play music, and let me skip to next on occasion.

Similar for fast food ordering. The kiosks and apps frankly I've liked the option to enter my order precisely without a clerk to mess it up. Advocating for chat for those is a step backwards too.
