"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.

Yes but now they are accessible to anyone.
Your perspective is actually completely backwards on this
This process has always been accessible to everyone. You’d google basically the same words you typed into your prompt and it would bring you directly to the same block of code that everybody uses.
AI on the other hand is currently temporarily being made available for free or low cost because they are actively trying to create a cohort of users who impulsively “just reach for AI” as their first step to solving every problem.
In a few years you may find yourself praising how “accessible” it is because they occasionally run offers for a week of subscription time for $40 instead of the usual rate of $189.99/mo for entry level access. You may find yourself wondering how people ever lived without it
