"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.

Anything but address the core issue. Consumers overwhelmingly see almost no benefit from AI, are sick of it being stuffed into everything, sick of being forced to use it at work, sick of being forced to fund it in our retirement accounts, sick of our water being used for it in the datacenters they're building, and sick of consumer products being out of stock or skyrocketing in price because of it... Banning a word won't solve any of that!
Don't forget all the citizens being forced to subsidize the datacenters with exorbitant electricity bills.
