"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 think most people in the 90s could easily see that something would replace CDs, because CDs replaced tape and vinyl in their lifetimes. Also, CDs have not disappeared, and neither has tape, or vinyl. Or, live music, for that matter, or buggy whips.
While most people don't use a PC, plenty do, and they use them for things that are either impossible or extremely inconvenient to do on a phone or tablet. Professional design of practically anything does not happen on a six-inch screen, for instance.
People could see something replacing CD's but few saw that in effect nothing would replace CD's because music ownership itself would end.
