"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 didn't say that. The way you described what is probably most people implies that they're subhuman, which is... gross for lack of a less incendiary term. That threw me so hard I had to address it. Sorry.
Insults for people in the group I think you're talking about that aren't dehumanizing: normies, regulars, sleepers. All of those acknowledge the person's humanity first while creating the othering space around the person talking. An important distinction from similar, but reversed terms like: sheep, sheeple, NPCs, puppets
NPC carries the connotation that they exist for other's amusement, that their thoughts and experiences aren't valuable or even real. Also, it carries the connotation that the person speaking and people like them are the "real" people (since NPC is a specific term to differentiate from the PC).
You said that, btw.
