"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.

What's not to loathe?
Seriously. I'm asking. I'm genuinely curious.
It's helpful in learning so long as you get one that you can reign in to only rely on only the official documentation of what you are learning. But then there's allllll the downsides of running that power hungry system.
it's basically glorified search where you don't have to go to the source website
Right, which begs the question: why wouldn't I just fucking search for what I want to know? Especially becauseI know for a fact that won't result in me having to sift through completely fabricated bullshit.
Because if you do that now, you'll end up on a a.i. made website with some fever dreams for images which hold no real facts and or truths. Only half facts jumbled together with half truths into incomprehensible sentences which feel like a random combination of words that seem to be endless and unmemorizeable.
Porn
We've had an abundance of porn since long before LLMs existed.
Sure but lets not pretend that being able to generate pornography specific to our immediate interests is not desirable. Especially for those with more esoteric tastes.
It really isn't. Not for me. I have search bars for that.
Here AI seems to be only the LLM & Image generators, seems people don't know about how/what AI is doing behind the scenes in science etc. where it usually outperforms older types of computations.
This is about AI in our daily lives, which naturally precludes AI behind the scenes.
Lot of it is in our daily lives though, like maps showing the fastest route etc etc etc
Okay are you using "AI" to mean "literally all algorithms and automation"?
Not at all. I have worked with AI like Tensorflow and Keras, I do not supposed anyone else have, so my example was maybe too simple.
AI is used in loads of things like dynamic loads on complex systems, or just how you can build a sturdier car with less material. Is that a better example?
