"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.

Pretty sure his face is supposed to look like a bottle opener. It looked weird small on my phone but zooming in I think it's clear. The intent is to parallel the phrase "opening up the Middle East to America" while turning the roles on their heads, he is opening America to the Middle East.

This is an extremely simple use of visual metaphor and the AI predictably flunks hard by excreting something which pleases aesthetically but is spiritually and artistically barren.
