"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.

They are not overestimating the response though.
I think I'm an optimist because I think that eventually the various companies are going to have to start turning a profit, and I just don't see it happening. When the investment money runs out there's going to be a huge crash. Frivolous pointless stuff like this will drop by the wayside.
What will be left is the useful applications of AI like scientific research and the automation of simple, but non-deterministic tasks that couldn't previously be automated via a script, such as organising logistical supply chains. But AI isn't going to replace human labour until they move away from LLM chat bots, and even then it's just a possibility not an inevitability.
Unfortunetly, true.
