"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.

Thank you so much for taking the time to put into words what I’ve been too lazy to enunciate. Transformer-based tools are a great development with some fantastic uses. I think the problem is one of nomenclature and extremely aggressive marketing by grifters. The reason I’m in this community isn’t to outright banish anything related to transformer-based tech, but to rail against the insanely overhyped, economy-wrecking shitshow that has commandeered the nebulous term “AI” when it’s really just LLMs.
Same, I'm here because capitalism is doing serious damage to the world by taking a promising technology and massively over investing.
I'm not here to side with the Luddites who reflexively downvote anything that says 'AI'.
Though, I will say that this is a nuanced opinion and so I understand that I'm going to be dog piled by the people who're only here for low effort performative activism.
