"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've seen this so many times, long before AI was even a thing. It always goes like this:
What amazes me is that this is still happening to this day. I've seen a real world example of this just last week.
On top of that, AI has arrived and it gives the CEOs of the world an opportunity to make the same mistakes again. It's mindblowingly stupid.
Note: I don't blame Indian companies for offering their services. The blame entirely goes to greedy companies from the west who try squeeze out profit from income disparity and lower standards.
Also, you get what you pay for. Lots of companies have good quality in India. Same as how lots of factories produce good quality stuff in China.
But it shouldn't be a surprise to get garbage bin quality if you're shopping for bottom shelf prices. Going for higher quality wouldn't be a bad deal but there's still money to be squeezed by going lower... and lower... and lower
Very good summary of the Corporate shitshow
