"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.

Depending on the material, the LLM can be faster. I have used an LLM to extract viable search terms to then go and read the material myself.
I never trust the summary, but it frequently gives me clues as to what keywords could take me to the right area of a source material. Internet articles that stretch brief content into tedious mess, documentation that is 99% something I already know, but I need something buried in the 1%.
Was searching for a certain type of utility and traditional Internet searches were flooded with shitware that wasn't meeting the criteria I wanted, LLM successfully zeroed in on just the perfect GitHub project.
Then as a reminder to never trust the results, I queried how to make it do a certain thing and it mentioned a command option that seemed like a dumb name that was opposite of what I asked for if it did work and not only would it have been opposite, no such option existed.
