"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.

i saw a tool like that in like 1999. like, not super-realistic but convincing enough. above animorphs level at least.
idk about immediately throwing out prompts either. i did a big half-rant about this the other day but the current gen of models are all vector spaces. they are basically multidimensional topographical maps with the prompt as the starting coordinates and some traversal algorithm as the means of producing output. as long as they stick around the prompts are needed.
Beyond that, there's definite value in being able to create queries using natural language, and not needing to always know the specific technical terminology of something while still being able to get pointed in the right direction.
It's the whole non-deterministically regurgitate a poor quality combination of all your stolen training data while not citing sources and using absurd resources that I have a problem with, personally.
