"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.

Most corporate-facing businesses have some sense of sanity because they know every purchase of their product is going to be scrutinized to hell by a team of MBA accountants. They've got to actually meet expectations versus consumer business which can be sold (and defended) on marketing And hype alone
I mean, a lot of internal corporate "AI" systems I've seen are ChatGPT wrappers, and total messes. But they get approval and funding.
Another odd thing is that IBM's hardly 'selling' here. These are basically open source contributions for PR, with the hope that they're used internally or in their other businesses I guess. But it's quite low-key for PR.
