"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 find it unlikely that someone might be on Lemmy and not be aware about the basics of how ““AI”” actually works.

That feels unnecessarily aggressive?

I don't really use it because I don't like it, so I haven't bothered to read much about it. I tried some local stable diffusion image generation and it didn't seem to strain my gaming computer much. I don't have a power measuring device.

I tried stuff like Claude which I know is running remotely, and I assumed Gemini is remote since Google wouldn't pass up a chance to exfiltrate more of my data.
