"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.

honestly if the technology is lightweight to run on ordinary PC, I'd have tinkered with it long ago. I did try once but it's pretty slow to generate texts on my laptop, I quickly lost interest.
But also the typical implementation of the tech is built on cloud, locked behind registration, is enough to turn me off. It's just like any other free useful tools but works via web that requires login, so I never bother to try.
