"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.

"What about the foundation is rotten, in your view? The fact that it's based on other people's work being regurgitated, or the environmental concerns, or how big tech is trying to leverage it to be an arbiter of knowledge and computing power? All are valid concerns, but they don't mean the technology is inherently unusable or unethical."
It literally does. There's no point in this discussion if we're disagreeing over something so fundamental.
Cool, I can see it's a waste of time too if you're not able to appreciate other people's view or express yours beyond absolutisms. It's not a discussion when the only view you pay attention to is your own.
Lol as if I didn't hear you out. At this point anyone could present any point against "generative" AI and you'd find a way to say "but if it produces something that works".
At least, that's how you've come off. I know I'm being abrasive, but I genuinely don't wanna believe people think like that, and I don't enjoy fighting like this.
When tedious tasks can be automated without using tech made by fascists for fascists, I'll be all over that. Until then, its pretty hard to defend.
