"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.

AI doesn't "know" anything. It's a big statistical probability model that predicts words based on context. It is very specifically BAD at math and dates etc. because it works based on words, not numbers. Models can't do math

Yeah, I'm being colloquial with saying "thinking," and that makes sense! Computers that are bad at math, what genius!
