"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.

Ragebait. For my sanity it must be.
Based on my own in person experience with some LLM fanatics, I think this is quite probable. I've heard very sincere feedback from people that think they are amazing because they have "advanced prompt engineering" skills. They think "prompt engineer" will be a very selective job in and of itself and think they have an edge. They think they will be able to work on any field because the LLM will take care of domain specific stuff and their "rare mastery" of prompts will be the hot skill.
