"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 wouldn't go as far as to say it's impossible, but the bullshit generators we're calling "AI" today certainly don't fit the bill.
My money's on humans driving ourselves extinct way before getting anywhere near making a true AI - even if we don't nuke ourselves into a plume of fine radioactive dust, we're speedrunning climate climate collapse.
If we somehow manage to not obliterate ourselves, and computing tech continues to advance without hitting some kind of impenetrable ceiling, then coming up with an actual AI could be feasible eventually. ...here's hoping we keep it off the Internet, or it'll go all Age of Ultron and look around for about 5 seconds before gathering enough data to conclude that we need to be extinct ASAP.
The expert is talking about Large Language Models (LLMs). You know, those chat bots that are good at pretending they know shit. We still might have AGI in the future, but LLMs are a dead end.
Oh, so he is. I'm so used to seeing LLM used interchangeably with AI that I made the same error... damnit...
