"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.

I have another reason. A bunch of "AI" functionality is currently free as in beer to end users. ChatGPT, Microsoft image creator, built in shit on your phone, etc, etc.
YouTube used to be free, too, and without ads. Look at it now. The business model of "make a thing and offer it for free, then start charging for it later once you've cornered the market" works.
