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.

No. Not everyone hates AI. I hate the douche shit and I'm tired of being asked how AI fits into my products. But literally everyone I know uses chatgpt for work.
I think it's insane using it for work. I've spoken to people who use it to send emails.... I mean by the time you write the prompt, you could just write the email.
The one area, I think, it's very handy is language and language learning.
It's in the name LLM.
For anything up to a native speaker, it's absolutely fantastic at stringing a sentence together.
As long as you're not trying to actually DO anything other than learning.
Do they send you hallucinations as if they were fact all the time? That's my current favourite.
That's an oldie but goodie. Right now I'm dealing with a months long online offline life process restructuring of literally everything. Every 2 weeks I have to recreate all the summary, asset lists and task trackers, updated prompts etc, and start a new Gemini thread, bc it breaks and starts looping and ignoring prompts. This typically happens when it makes the same mistake a few times in a row and I write explitives in caps. Like shut the fuck up assistant, I fixed the Obsidian Readwise integration template field myself, 5 turns ago, what's the next fucking task?
