"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.

If you're running it locally you can set how much variance it has. However, I mostly agree, in that it creates a bunch of trash. This doesn't mean it has no use though. It's like the monkeys on a typewriter thought experiment, but the monkey's output is fairly constrained so it takes much fewer attempts to create what you want. It depends on the complexity of the solution required whether it'll come up with a good solution in a reasonable amount of tries. If it's a novel solution, it probably never will, because it's constrained to solutions it's seen before.
