"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 do think it's disingenuous to downplay how effective AI can be. If you ask certain AI a question, it will give you a faster and better answer than using a search engine would, and will provide sources for further reading if requested.
And the art, whilst not as good or as ethical as human art, can still be high quality.
Being against AI is completely valid, but disparaging it with falsehoods does nothing but give the feeling that you don't know what you're talking about.
Gemini will give you the wrong answers and the wrong references.
LLM is just a fancy Google search, because it can go into databases and XML files but asking it to connect the dots with a conclusion and decision is very dangerous.
