"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.

Honestly good rule about Machine Learning is just "predicting = good, generating = bad." Rest are case by case but usually bad.
Predict inflation in 3 years - cool
Predict chance of cancer - cool.
Generate image or mail or summary or tech article - fuck you.
Generating speech from text/image is also cool but it's kind of a special case there.
