"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.

Try out Flora Incognita, it usually works pretty well, at least in the UK. Though I'm kinda bemused that while often I give it one blurry photo of a leaf and it immediately spits out the 97% confidence answer (and yes, the result's example photos do match the real plant's other parts too), but occasionally it has me take painstaking photos of like 5 different aspects of the plant, then thinks for more than a minute and goes "eeh, 37% that it's this [completely different looking] plant, otherwise no clue".
