"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.

Instead of asking, try to figure out what you think it will say first
If you're right, look up the opposite.
If you're wrong, find out why, and try to figure out what the reasoning is.
Eventually, don't look it up. If you hear something and you know you're right, trust it. If you have the slightest doubt, look up the opposite first. If the opposite of what you thought it was comes up, you're probably right.
If it's not the opposite of what you thought, you know you could be wrong. Sit with that. Try to figure out why you're wrong before you check.
That is mindfulness. Remember to think before you search. Eventually, you will find out if you're wrong, and in time you'll know when you're right most of the time without checking.
Then don't trust it and check anyway. Fuck it, you have agency. You do whatever the fuck you want.
