"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.

Exactly, for every cancer cure AI generates, it generates an incomprehensible ammount of shit, not just slop, but actively harmful content, like revisionist history, lies about science, oceans of exploitative media, terabytes of hallucinations, novells worth of psycological manipulative chats with vulnerable individuals, and more.
All of that while producing pollution that will increase the risk of cancer in the first place, completing the circle.
and it cant even properly diagnose cancer, without hallucinating. they had to review it by MDs over and over again. and then theres insurance/misdiagnosis implications, which is likely to increase too.
AI is a very broad field. LLMs are just one corner of it. Probably the most visible one.
And LLMs are what the tech oligarchs are pushing and what we are all talking about here, not any other kind. It is a disingenous attempt at deflection to pretend there is any discussion about other types of AIs.
Yeah, that’s the vibe in getting in these conversations. Nobody seems to have any issues with image sorting, optical character recognition, audio signal processing or smart background blurring.
Really? I think image and video generative AI is what the data centre build out is for.
