"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.

am i old? i simply can't imagine handing control of my money over to AI because i can't be assed to order shit online all by myself--which takes less time than writing a prompt
The cynic in me says they'll start making the normal online ordering process much harder and worse to try to force ai shopping usage
Retailers will literally eliminate search, product sort and filters, etc.
They will dumb it down to happy value meal, the generous ones may allow ala carte ordering, a nod to legacy web purchasing. Imagine allowing consumers to choose their own products?!? How dated and unprofitable.
With most people nearly illiterate, as designed, they won't complain.
Can't imagine handing control of anything over to an LLM.
