Fuck AI

"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 wasn't sure why this was so funny but then I thought about how most posts regarding AI I see are complaining about how its been shoehorned into every fucking product whether or not it makes sense or even completely destroys the functionality of the product. And then, on top of that, you have to pay for it, like when apple can't fix siri so they ask if you want to hook up a chatgpt not to access your data.

And thats what's so funny. This guy very consciously did that to himself. He drank the AI kool aid so thoroughly he made his own subscription service to... Set a timer? The concept of a to do list, or reminders or alarms, is something we've generally nailed as a species. Sure, there are ways to improve it, but he certainly isn't finding any of them and paying for the privilege. Shocking stupidity.

Sounds like Google. They tried to remove the Assistant that did the job with Gemini that sometimes does the job.

Did Gemini really set the alarm? Toss a coin.

I think they're also aware of this since they're now giving people the option to choose between them. Lol
