"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.

In the same article it says the locations used, and amount of money to shoot this on site would have costed way more. Which is funny to me since they seem to be complaining either way about the cost of making a commercial. Honestly, I am not sure how paying 10 people with long hours came anywhere near an on-site full production staff budget to even say that. There's no way it was even close. If it was close then your overpaying for slop.
