"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.

If true they’re all idiots, but I don’t believe the story anyway. All the data question answering LLMs I’ve seen use the LLM to write SQL queries on your databases and then wrap the output in a summary. So the summary is easy to check and very unlikely to be significantly wrong. AI/ML/statistics and code is a tool, use it for what it’s good for, don’t use it for what it’s not, treat hype with skepticism
Honestly, I was leaning toward "funny but probably fake" myself until I checked out OP's post history, which mentions "startups" and namedrops a few SaaS tools used heavily in marketing. If you've worked with marketers (or a fair few startup bros, honestly), you'll know this isn't beyond the bounds of reason for some of them 😂
I did leave myself a “could be idiots” get out clause
Oh boy. Yeah. SNAFU City.
Marketing just hallucinate their numbers anyway.
