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 what happens when you give boomers technology
It ain't just Boomers. Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha are all using GAI LLM's to the detriment of society as a whole.
im not surprised gen z and younger is using the most.
From what limited studies there have been done on this that I'm aware of, so-called "Gen Z" is far more prone to using LLMs than my "generation" ("Gen X").
FAR more prone.
That wasn't my point. I was just pointing out that this wasn't a "give boomers tech" problem. It's every gen's problem to some extent.
But I'm also not sure that you meant to respond to me.
That's all you have got? I can't find his age, but based on his military career I am guessing he is Gen X and not a boomer. Besides, the age of someone using tools like this is kind of irrelevant in this case. It's his rank and power, and the fact that he is probably typing in information that is not cleared, into a system that is basically recording everything he asks or discusses with it. Add to that the fact that he is actually listening to the ramblings of a program he has no idea what the program is using to formulate its decision and it is even more scary. This has serious implications way beyond "boomer bad....". It means that if the owners/programmers of chatgpt can effectively recognize when someone in a position of power is using their tool, they could manipulate the responses to their benefit, or they could just screw with things. Either way it's a dangerous situation, especially when the people involved have control of military forces.
Yes. It's "boomers" overusing LLMs. Not young-uns. Because that's totally what numbers mean.

Another "anyone older than me is a Boomer" dumbass. Let me guess, you're a teenager? Nothing wrong with that, just assuming from the judgy comment.
