Fuck AI
"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.
LLMs can be useful in some limited contexts and when you are aware that they aren't magic. They also shouldn't be relied upon for anything super important.
Personally I've found utility in LLMs for non-critical stuff, like writing scripts for a video game I've been playing where it can comb through the scripting documentation and spit out answers to requests much faster than I could read and write my own script.
I've been moderating tech conferences for a couple of years now and this is the use case case that's been bubbling up the most recently. A lot of "this is the future of how we will interact with the web" or "let's ditch having to search for things ourselves, let's just ask the propmt to give us the answer".
I see a lot of frontend developers promoting things like LangFlow to "push UI/UX into the future".
