"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 love that humans are inclined to anthropamorphize things. A door can't be sad. A street can't be lonely. The moon can't be wistful. The ocean can't be angry.
But they can... in our heads. And that's real for us.
I think that, at least at a societal level, this part of the human condition has been mostly benign. Just a little bit of spice.
LLMs seem to have short circuited that part in our brains. We can't even describe errata of a system without anthropamorphizing it
