"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.

People who are used to doing actual research and who understand the necessity of things like a peer review process understand how dangerous it is to have something that's straight up confidently wrong 20% of the time, and yet have people who treat it like the ultimate authority on things. These people have likely seen AI be stunningly stupid in fields they know about and can extrapolate from there that it's probably stunningly stupid about most things.
