"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.

AI is already useful in some areas, such as identifying patterns in medical data (which leads to breakthroughs in diagnosing rare diseases, identifying genetic factors in disease, targeting new treatments, etc).
Sure I just mean its not really AI, its simply more machine learning. Its not sentient, its not replacing the bulk of workers, it doesnt understand what its doing so its just a more advanced tool for workers to take advantage of.
Oh yeah, I'm with you there. People use "AI" for just about everything it seems.
You say "already" useful like there are going to be more uses in the future.
Nope. That's what it's useful for, and that's all it's going to be useful for until we progress beyond pattern recognition engines. Nothing available right now is ever going to be any more useful than it already is, it'll be something totally new.
