"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.

This is only a subjective feeling and I do not have substantiated reasoning behind it, but it does feel like the bubble began bursting.

More and more people admitting that it is a bubble, even among the insiders and financial institutions.

We also got some infographic that AI companies are propping each other up. Not really indicative of anything, but it adds to the feeling.

Also idk, the pattern on the stock market looks like the top is in. Ironically, I am relying in this signal the most. Just wanted to post that.

..people who have been using AI to cheat through highschool/college will not suddenly study two years worth of material over the month..

Oddly enough, I know several younger people - men and women - who are no longer using AI to write up their work for school, because as they claim, the results are getting poorer. In one case the AI generated a set of conclusions that were entirely unrelated to the main point of the paper. The guy ended up backpedaling on the whole project, which he'd only started on and had to use several weekends to sort it.

Where I would use AI was to find the source materials and then verify those sources to make sure they were organic and not synthetic, then go forward on my own...

But I'm also an old fart, so what do I know of how higher-ed rolls today.

I have a fold of screenshots labelled "AI slop", specifically, very fabricated, incorrect answers to scientific questions.

Meanwhile, high school teacher are telling kids this is the technology of the future. Don't take career advice from someone who ended up a high school teacher based on career advice.
