"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.

It empowers dull people to flood the world with dull sludge, drowning out those with actual talent and a creative spark. Great writers connect things that have never been connected before - Douglas Adams wrote "they hung in the sky in much the same way as bricks don't". AI could never create that sentence because it connects things that have never been connected before. AI could come up with a million similies for things in the sky which have all been used before, but never an original one which shouldn't work, but does.
I don't believe dull people actually exist, there are only people whose spark hasn't been lit.
AI is snuffing out those sparks en masse, preventing many of our greatest future talent to ever exist in the first place.
This machine will kill us all, and it won't even need to be smarter than us to do so...
