"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 noticed Copilot doing this and I told it to stop that behaviour through the customization prompt. "I don't want platitudes, flattery, or an AI that agrees with me. I need an answer with sources and nothing else." seems to have fixed its worst tendencies for now.
Now that I am forced to use it for work I at least get output that's usable. The only thing that still irks me is when it attempts to speak from experience ("In my experience...") and when it attempts to humanize itself ("Personally..."). I haven't managed to kill those behaviours yet, but they are getting really annoying.
