This is why the aitechbrodude will never understand opposition to AI. They don't understand anything of substance.

"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 is kind of like me when I don't really want to watch a movie or show but I want to know what is it about so I just watch a summarized commentary on YouTube for a fraction of the time
... only I'm aware I don't really want to watch it in the first place
I always discover that one or two episodes in. It's always that it's a good idea executed poorly.
The fan wiki is great when you just want more of the idea but to skip the cruddy details.
Yes, that's the case. Good direction can turn the most banal story into something interesting, but that's a rare trait, and on top of that shows and film are teamwork that also needs to answer to producers/investors/broadcasters interests and requirements. Keeping an idea fresh, with good pacing, and interesting taking all that into account is very hard.
There's so many movies I get recommended which are just awful. Reading the Wikipedia entry and plot is often all I need to understand if it's worth it or not.
Imdb rating does it for me. Unless it's something I want to watch regardless, I'm unlikely to bother with anything below a 7/10.
