Fuck AI

"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.

Neat illustration of the fact that so-called AIs do not possess intelligence of any form, since they do not in fact reason at all.

It's just that the string of words most statistically likely to be positively associated with a string including "20 blah blah blah bricks" and "20 blah blah blah feathers" is "Neither. They both weigh 20 pounds." So that's what the entirely non-intelligent software spit out.

If the question had been phrased in the customary manner, what seems to be a dumbass answer would've instead seemed to be brilliant, when in fact it's neither. It's just a string of words.

Exactly, it's just predicting the next word. To believe it has any form of intelligence is dangerous.
