"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 think the biggest thing I hate about this AI bubble is that they managed to convince the lay person (and CEOs) that this iteration is actually “AI”. We have been throwing around AI for a long time but we all knew it wasn’t really “intelligence”.
However now that they have something that can speak more naturally (LLMs) and something that brute forces answers (ML) they’re trying to pass it off as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) even though it does not have the capacity to reason.
All this is, is a major hype train that they’ve realized they can swindle most of the world on and are trying to extract as much money as possible before people figure out what’s behind the curtain. And nvidia specifically is taking a huge gamble, along with OpenAI, that has to pay off or they’re fucked.
