Fuck AI

"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.

Just heard this today - co worker used an LLM to find him some shoes that fit. Basically prompted it to find specific shoes that fit wider/narrower feet and it just scraped reviews and told him what to get. I guess it worked perfectly for him.

I hate this sort of thing - however this is why normies love LLM's. It's going to be the new way every single person uses the internet. Hell, on a new win 11 install the first thing that comes up is copilot saying "hey use me i'm better than google!!"

Frustrating.

I think the other half of this is the confidence with which it’s programmed to give the answer. You don’t have to go through a couple individual answers from different sites and make a decision. It just tells you what to do in a coherent way, eliminating any autonomy you have in the decision process/critical thinking, of course. “Fix my sauce by adding lemon? Ok! Add a bay leaf and kill yourself? Can do!”
