"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.

People actually pay for that shit?
That's a great question! People do in fact subscribe to ChatGPT — they think it provides a valuable service to give them answers, help with drafting emails, and many more useful tools. In conclusion ChatGPT is a valuable tool that many people subscribe to.
I challenged a friend and his 22€ open ai subscription.
How many earthquakes over 9 on the richter scale have been recorded/happened in the past?
The answer was correct, but it took 3,5 minutes to "think". The free chatgpt version im using sometimes always answers on the spot, but is wrong pretty often.
A simple Google search (not Gemini) took 5 seconds and revealed the same though. Fuck AI
And also fuck Google! Switch to another search engine that doesn't fuck with you or the planet.
For example: Ecosia. https://www.ecosia.org/
I'm personally using a self hosted searxng. Google was just to prove a point. The solution was a simple count on wikiedia away.
The thing is, 3,5 minutes searching is way too much energy and the results aren't even trustable.
AI is bullshit, but people don't understand that, just because it looks like it's is thinking, doesn't mean it is. That's a human bias. It's still just generating statistical answers.
We should avoid ai content as much as we can. Maybe this bubble will burst... hopefully
