"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.

In an effort to stem the bleeding from the backlash about their AI usage and their CEO's meltdown, they decide to do the exact opposite and go all in.

...I'm tired, boss.

writing great code manually is a core skill whose time has passed.

If you're saying people will no longer have to learn to code...

This is not the death of expertise. The LLM is fast. You are slow, but you carry with you a lifetime of experience, judgment calls, and understanding.

...then where the fuck is that expertise gonna come from?

You are also (hopefully) much less prone to hallucination and being mislead by bad or malicious inputs, and are accountable to yourself, your teammates, and to Proton in a way a model can never be. Together you can do far more, far faster than either can do alone.

AI "hallucination" is the product of something that doesn't know what it's doing accidentally doing something wrong despite all training in appearing competent. To correct and counteract that, you need people who actually learned what is correct and know their shit. In essence: you need people with experience in writing good code.

Even if we accepted the premise that needing to adopt AI would be the only way to survive, this logic is so full of holes that I'm wondering whether an LLM wrote it or whether that's just the best logic Butler can deliver after outsourcing his thinking to bullshit machines.

We're the last generation to know how to do anything, apparently. Our job is to teach the machines so well that there will be no need to pay our children for anything.

Yeah, that's the bullshit the grifters are peddling at least
