"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.

They boast having hired 5 slop specialists that chose the least worse shots over 70000 prompts

They have something like $50 billion yearly revenue, can't pay real people for an ad? Literally peanuts for them.

I'm not going to mourn the salaries of people who knowingly ~~psychologically manipulate~~ advertise for an industry which systematically spread health disinformation about sugars and fats in the 90s and is an intentionally enormous contributor to the ongoing childhood obesity, health more generally, and plastic pollution epidemics.

I will say, though, that I'm not happy this probably makes said ~~psychological manipulation~~ advertisement cheaper for them.
