"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.

No, I understand what you mean and to that point yes you're right I shouldn't hold the employees of the Chicago Sun-Times accountable for using AI slop in their paper.
But that's just not the way my - or anyone's - mind processes it. "The Chicago Sun-Times" for all intents and purposes is a monolith which produces a newspaper. "They" made a very unfortunate decision to allow AI content in that paper. It has damaged their reputation.
So next time I see "Chicago Sun-Times" I won't be thinking about the person who does the layouts or the regional sales person or any of that, I'll be thinking "oh yeah, they got bitten hard by a stupid decision to allow AI slop in their paper".
