"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.

This is a little besides the point, but even those use-cases LLMs have the fatal flaw of being obscenely resource intensive. They require huge amounts of electricity and cooling to continue operating. Not to mention most of them are trained on stolen data.
Even when they're an effective tool for a given task, they're still not an ethical one.
That's true; I didn't touch on those points but I very much agree. (Yes, while I occasionally use it. It's easy to ignore the implications of what you're doing for a moment.)
