"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.

So first off, ads suck.
Second, I could put up with ads if they are fully disclosed as ads with a sponsor tag or something, but if they start putting it into the conversation as if it wasn't an ad, I'll stop using it right away.
This always seemed like the ultimate goal of a chatgpt or a Gemini.
Attract: make a service that magically gives answers, killing the old ways to find or research information.
Extract: once everyone trusts AI implicitly, weave in advertising without anyone's knowledge, allowing for extremely subtle and effective brainwashing.
Should really be against the law if it isn't already.
