"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 work for a supermarket that's recently rolled out AI chatbots to "help" customers find items in store instead of asking staff. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

The idea being it reduces the number of staff needed to run the store because now we can restock shelves uninterrupted.

Of course, that's not what's happening. Instead of being asked where our canned mushrooms are, we're now being asked where aisle 31 is, and we're having to take extra time to find out what their actual question is.

Because there are only 14 aisles in the store.

Oh, and I actually like being asked where stuff is, because it breaks up the monotony of bringing out rollcomp, rotating, stocking, facing up, putting back rollcomp, repeat until lunch.

An air frier is energy efficient in the sense that it makes a pizza in 7m total, no preheat, while the oven needs to preheat for 5 mins and then 12 mins of cooking. Size matters a lot in terms of efficiency. Being bigger is not always a plus.
