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.

I tried to use it to write software to rotate my screen in a way that would please me and if I wasn't an experienced sysadmin the code it produced would have destroyed the computer's battery in a year or so.
That was this year.
Everything it makes is bad, the prose is awful, the orthography bland, the code mediocre. Any factual query I have made has had at least one critical error a non expert would miss. They are machines for giving idiots false confidence, atrophying your own skills, and producing the sort of aggressively mediocre writing one finds on reddit.
I think it is fucking hilarious to be proud about making yourself dependent on an industry that literally 450 billion dollars in the hole and 2 companies. I am sure that'll work out well for you.
The best use for it is as a sounding board to work through problems. That's it.
