"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.

The people I know who are most skeptical of LLMs and other genAI tools actually work with machine learning and statistical models. They know the limitations and pitfalls, and they know that getting 'AI' right 80% of the time is the EASY part. Getting it right the remaining 20% of the time might be impossible with the current approach.
I have limited exposure to ML for maintenance modeling in manufacturing. LLMs are sort like a parrot with improved guessing abilities and an insane amount of guessing power. It will never move beyond being a parrot, because that's what it is.
