Fuck AI

"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.

Now that's a heel turn if I've ever seen one.

Absolutely unacceptable. I'm downloading Haiku right now.

Here is a more detail article about what actually happened

https://www.xda-developers.com/linus-torvalds-fixed-a-linux-bug-using-ai-highlighting-both-the-strengths-and-weaknesses-of-the-new-tech/

It sounds like AI helped find the issue and write NOTES about it, but Linus explains he basically had to force the AI assistant because it kept on giving up. Linus wrote the fix himself.

I'd like to call it my tireless helper, but the AI several times stated flat out that this was impossible and unsolvable and that we should just write a report about it. I suspect those things have been trained by people who may not be quite as stubborn as I am.

You should do that anyway.
