"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.

If a straight person says the word "fag" in private where no one can hear, does that hurt anyone? The target of that word is real people, but if no one is around to hear...
Eagerness to say a slur because this time no one's getting hurt indicates that someone was willing to say a slur already, but held back to be politically correct. In fact it's mostly the people chomping at the bit to call LLMs "clankers" who identify the word "clanker" as a slur in the first place. I wouldn't even be bothering to make this comment if the prevailing discourse wasn't "clanker is a slur (and that's okay)".
