"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.

When the current budget was negotiated, we thought AI would only approach human reasoning around 2050. Now we expect this to happen already next year

For fuck's sake, Uschi.

Well she may be right. The problem is we overestimated the level of human intelligence. Turns out it’s closer to a mix between a parrot and a retriever.

Edit: fixed a pronoun.

I 100% beleive that all middle managers will be able to be seapped with an LLM by this time next year and no one will be able to tell the difference.

Anything that requires more than just buzzwords and slobbing on a superior's knob? That's not gonna materialize anytime soon.

Are you sure this hasn't happened already? ;-)

I unironically believe that most of the AI hype comes from the fact that people grossly overestimate how hard language synthesis actually is. Like... this is a thing that babies can do. Language is so easy that we learn to understand it passively, just by listening. Something like 50% of the world's population speaks more than one language. Hell, there are even dozens of animal species that have rudimentary language... and yet this is supposed to be the most valuable technology ever created? Something we've all been doing for free without even thinking about it for tens of thousands of years?

I guess it's no surprise that the biggest AI boosters are the people who most love to hear themselves talk. Of course they would think that language is the pinnacle of intelligence...

Uschi is a she and you're selling parrots and dogs very short if you think AI may approach their intelligence next year.
