"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.

This would be fine if consumers could get the point that AI is not reliable enough to operate without review, and Target makes it clear to them what the situation is. I doubt that will happen though.
Which makes it worthless for anything other than vague inspiration or as a verbose search result. Literally everything else takes more work to do something if the person is capable of doing the thing.
It's useful for some things, but nothing serious. The danger is people who are clueless and think it's infallible and reliable. As far as a making a suggested shopping list, it could actually save time. It's good for .... suggestions.
Most of the (little) inspiration I've gotten from AI has been when it makes a mistake in an interesting way (namely images).
