"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.

To be fair, and I’m not a fan of LLMs either, but if someone uses it as a search tool, then that’s just even worse than attempting to use it for something it might actually be helpful and useful for.
Slap them and make them cancel it, if they replace search engines with it. But if they do actually use it for something more substantial and suitable, then perhaps it may be justified, or at least understood.
Isn't Google like an AI search engine nowadays? Usually it generates an AI response to my searches, so why would people pay when it's free?
Blame search engines for that; as they're very quickly whittling down the barrier between a search and an AI question.
