"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 have a Ph.D. The stuff people are currently calling “AI” is trash.
I regularly do peer review for manuscripts sent to a scientific journal. The number of them “written” with LLM tools is staggering. It’s really disheartening to read several pages of slop filled with very confident-sounding but astonishingly wrong citations.
But it is pretty satisfying to be able to return a review that basically says “Hey editor, they wrote this with a trash robot. I recommend rejection.”
At least it's an easy reject...
