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.

This person that posted this, along with everyone else who knew they were using LLM's like this, is an incompetent idiot that should lose their job.

If true they’re all idiots, but I don’t believe the story anyway. All the data question answering LLMs I’ve seen use the LLM to write SQL queries on your databases and then wrap the output in a summary. So the summary is easy to check and very unlikely to be significantly wrong. AI/ML/statistics and code is a tool, use it for what it’s good for, don’t use it for what it’s not, treat hype with skepticism

The problem is you've got people using the tools that don't understand the output or the method to get there.

Take the Excel copilot function. You need to pass in a range of cells for the slop prompt to work on, but it's an optional parameter. If you don't pass that in, it returns results anyway. They're just complete bollocks.

At least it’ll self correct in a couple of years - use a tool, look like an idiot, stop using tool

This is why AI will only be used in subjective things that dont need to be perfect, like art. You cant create intelligence by regurgitating reddit posts via an LLM.

This is the type of A.I you should fuck Like I told someone here, A.I. is like a calculator, as long as you know how to use it, you will be fine.

Most ai stuff I use include a list of relevant sources next to the results. Do you not ever click in?

For me it’s critical to confirm, for example, the detail of that vendor api I want to use. However even then any hallucinations would mostly waste my time since if it doesn’t work it won’t get released

You’re telling me that people make actually business decisions without ever checking sources?
