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.

How normal people are using LLM's (sh.itjust.works)

Just heard this today - co worker used an LLM to find him some shoes that fit. Basically prompted it to find specific shoes that fit wider/narrower feet and it just scraped reviews and told him what to get. I guess it worked perfectly for him.

I hate this sort of thing - however this is why normies love LLM's. It's going to be the new way every single person uses the internet. Hell, on a new win 11 install the first thing that comes up is copilot saying "hey use me i'm better than google!!"

Frustrating.

Search engines have cratered.

There's a need to skim through all the crap to find what's valuable, and AI offers to do that.

I have used it to learn things, specifically how to use Angular. Angular has enough versions, all still used somewhere, that genuinely valid and helpful advice from a few years ago is misleading. AI didn't so much take the place of a tutorial, it took my whole code and reviewed it, telling me what was wrong. Then I fact-checked its answers because I don't trust it, and yeah, it wasn't always correct itself, but it was more than 80% of the time, and even when it was wrong, it got me close enough that I could find the right answer where it failed.

Also, it does a great job with CSS right out of the gate, no mistakes yet on that front.

But that's literally already the job of a search engine?
