"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.

But the real question is, will it run the calculator app?
The calculator app is now a link to Copilot. You can ask it in natural language to multiply 2 by 3 and it will tell you "West Dakota".
oh no, it will work for that. but ask it for 20 × 300 and you will get 5000. just good enough that people without critical thinking skills will find it amazing.
That's useless. I don't need AI to get answers like that.
And answers like that made my calculus homework problems get big and ugly.
It will use ""reasoning"" to write a python script that calculates 20x300 and it'll still get it wrong but it has now wasted an extra 10 cents of compute
For a recurring fee, it'll work half the time.
"Bitch, it might! Sometimes! Sometimes it might not, sometimes it might do "alternative math", you're telling me you can tell the difference, like you're some kinda math expert?! (oh btw fuck you, forgot to say that part)"
The real question is - is 64GB RAM and a 5090 the minimum system requirements?
The calculator app might have remote code execution vulnerability, so you are better off uninstalling it and asking Copilot instead.
