"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.

That's a whole lot of money and effort put into a thing that costs nothing to use "just for entertainment".

They can't do the ~~drug dealer~~ freemium rug pull yet, but that's coming as soon as they think they have enough people hooked enough to force the conversion from free users to paid users.

If it's free, you're the product. Then, when they make it not free anymore, you pay to be the product.

I honestly don't think they're going to find the profit when the time comes to charge for chat bots. Very few people are going to pay $10/mo max 300 messages or whatever compared to the user base now. And they built data centers for MASSIVE demand.
