"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.

So I tried the Claude browser integration for a workflow that required copying data from one tab into another, and filling out dozens of form fields.
It failed miserably and was dog slow.
In fact, I spent as much time fixing it as it would have taken for me to just do the work myself.
It would scroll and forget, scroll and miss fields, click the wrong things. You had to babysit it, you could not leave it to run in the background due to reliability.
So after giving it an earnest try for a real world simple but annoying task, these types of tools aren’t worth using. It really can’t get simpler than copy and paste.
It also protested that this would take a lot of clicks and it didn’t want to do it. Yeah, automating mundane tasks is the whole point of using AI, right?
