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 cri evrytim
Joining 'every' and 'time' like that is so triggering, like 'aswell' (when not talking about waves) and 'atleast'. Kudos for the attention to detail.
Wat about alot?
Wasn't it evertim?
Knowyourmeme references both.
Endocrine is when you cry inside
😭 is the emoji for exocrine
The crine in endocrine and exocrine come from Ancient Greek κρίνω (krínō) which has many definitions, allegedly including “to separate, also to secrete”.... Except, does it? The "to secrete" meaning of κρίνω was actually only added to wiktionary by a random IP address in 2023.
I'm crine. (From Scots crine (“to shrivel”), from Scottish Gaelic crìon (“withered”), from Old Irish crín.) 🫠
yay new word thank you
it’s an AAVE spelling, there’s nothing wrong with it

I guess I'm part of today's lucky 10,000.
I suppose since that because he still got the intended meaning from the spelling, you are right but it still bothers me when it makes written language harder to parse.
Though it is weird when white people post like this.
And it's fucking everywhere these days.
yeah, a lot of white people see it as nothing more than "trendy internet slang" or "gen z slang" and use it accordingly… tbh, it's a really gross thing to do to a dialect that is so often ridiculed and mocked by those same white people (frankly i'd even say the reduction to "internet slang" is part of the ridicule)

I did not in any way understand they were trying to say "crying" until I saw your comment.
I read it as though it was pronounced like it rhymed with the "trine" bit of "latrine".
A real crine against humanity, truly.
You understood what they meant, so it sounds like it worked.
They don't know how to spell because they have all their documents read to them as podcasts.

The useless LLM features are free, but editing the pdf (the thing you actually need to do) will cost you…
PLEASE use the LLMs, they are great, we promise, PLEASE we are begging you, it will change your life, PLEASE we spent billions of dollars on it thinking it will solve everything and now the shareholders are starting to ask questions PLEASE just one podcast from a PDF, PLEASE you will like it, trust me PLEASE BELIEVE ME.
it's so tempting just for the novelty, but fuck adobe i'm not using it even for funzies
foxit is love, foxit is life
edit: my loud cat just meowed his agreement and my right front butt farted involuntarily in concert. it must be true
It's SO dumb. Why would anyone actually specifically seek out and listen to an AI podcast generated by some random documents? How would anyone locate it? Why would anyone create branding for it?
This is a feature without an audience.
i guess the apparent intention was so that it can be listened to, instead of read. the actual intention was to get money from the same type of person this appeals to
That's what the "read aloud" button is for.
hold up
not to make too much fun, but does it make coloring pages too? didn't it already have that feature? how does it differ from TTS?
no shit we had someone come in to our work and was paid to lecture us for an hour on how to do this. they recommended it for when we're catching up on work outside of work - something I absolutely will never do
It's useful if the PDF is a chapter from a textbook. Good to listen to (study) while driving

alexa, change the numbers from actual verbal numbers to binary in EEEEEEEEE at the pitch F~3~ held for fourteen seconds for each one bit and UUUUUUUUUUU at the pitch A~2~ held for twenty-one seconds for each zero bit. Also throw in a C~10~ for four point two seconds every thirteenth bit with the vowel əəəəəəəəəə just to fuck with people.
openai will listen to it too
Just as surreal as the housing bubble years, just as surreal as the 90s tech bubble years.
They'll be talking about this one for years, lol
it'll be talking for us probably ..
Thanks, I'm too exhausted by it all, so I'm going non-verbal
I saw an ad yesterday for AI to generate product pictures. They're not even hiding that AI is primarily a tool for conmen.
My coworker sent me a screenshot of this the other day so I loaded a 2-page bid scope for a project. It spent half the time on the boilerplate terms and conditions
"Ah, so I see here that [my company] doesn't run conduit"
"Yeah, that's so true! It's up to [client] to run the conduit before work begins"
"Right! Makes sense to me!"
There was also no option to save the mp3. You had to play it with the odd open
One is a symptom of the other. All the tech companies went insane in the covid years, gorged on free debt and infinite demand for their services. A drug high that would never end... until it did, of course.
Now they're all blowing their banks out trying to recapture the magic of that era, with """AI""" as their supposedly-golden ticket. A shame it'll all come crashing down soon, and take the world economy with it.
Someone should spool up a full podcast series from the Epstein files and get it on spotify
Hi Crine, I'm Dad.
Hi dad, I'm worried, you better get out of that hi crine area
Better than the PDF reader that has a free VPN…
Ugh so annoying, glad I don’t use that shit.
