"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.

That's not the whole truth and makes your post seem a little ragebaity. The AI assistant is not available on WordPress sites that you host yourself. It's only available for WordPress blogs that are available on wordpress.com. The WordPress software itself does not come with AI features.
More details about this are here.
There are plugins for adding AI garbage to WP, like the "AI Experiments" plugin, but it's not getting auto-installed and likely never will be.
It's not ragebait. I use a wordpress.com site, and WordPress have added an 'Improve with AI' option to the new post sidebar as I see it; these are facts! I don't see that I need to go around and verify that its been added to every variant of WordPress site before I say that it's there. It is there.
Sure, but there's a difference between the software and some hosting provider hosting this software, even if it's on wordpress.com. But I don't hold it against you, that domain is deliberately confusing.
And Matt tried to claim WP Engine was confusing.. what a herb.
