"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.

Yeah, I am quite firmly against "AI" as is being pushed on the consumer by the big corporations and OpenAI and so on, but these headlines tend to annoy me. I agree with you there.
Every time something new comes out, there is a similar moral panic going on, and it's rarely, if ever, justified (rock and roll makes you a satanist, video games make you violent and so on).
If anything, I think it detracts from a bunch of other very valid points one can argue against the current generative AI, and makes the people who are reticent or opposed to it look a lot less credible when associated with this.
That being said, as time passes and more and more serious studies about it come out, maybe a scientific consensus will emerge and will agree with this, in which case I'll be happy to eat crow and add this to my long list of reasons why I don't like these technologies. Until then, I'll remain somewhat skeptical of those claims.
