"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.

That is the point. Training an LLM on the entire internet never will be reliable, apart of the huge energy waste, not the same as training an LLM on specific tasks in science, medicine, biology, etc., with this they can turn in very usefull tools, as shown, presenting results in hours or minutes in investigations which in traditional way would have least years. AI algorrithm are very efficient in specific tasks, since the first chess computers which roasted even world champions.
Those MLs don’t automate anything though, they increase output but also increase cost. The AI bubble is about reducing costs by reducing head count.
