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.

Then it can also invent money I don’t have to pay for that shit
I wish they recorded the meeting where they decided to do that.

This is like those mobile ads for mobile games that don't actually exist. They make fake gameplay footage of a game with a mechanic/idea that they speculate people might like, track the clicks to see how popular the idea is, then only build it once they think they have a guaranteed winner based on the click rate.
No doubt they are doing the same here, collecting stats on what people might like, if only it existed, then getting that thing made. Talk about outcompeting manufacturers. Again.
You know it's fucked when the Onion didn't write this.
