"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.

“A lot of generative AI stuff isn't really working,” Gownder said. “I mean, enterprise, and I'm not just talking about your consumer experience, which has its own gaps, but the MIT study that suggested that 95 percent of all generative AI projects are not yielding a tangible P&L benefit. So no actual ROI. McKinsey has something like 80-something percent that don't.

The elephant is the room is that LLMs are bruteforce machines. The glorified RNG that you keep rolling the dice until there's some semblance of an output that looks okay superficially.

What is the first concept you learn in CS101? Don't bruteforce. Don't waste compute power. It's the worst way to do things.

There's no way the tech industry doesn't recognize this. Nobody wants to say it. As soon as the money realizes is when they pull funding and the bubble bursts. The industry will keep suckering them in the meantime.
