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.

Writing all these prompts almost seems like a more time-consuming thing than actually programming the software.

Absolutely true, but executives kind of understand prompts whereas they don’t understand programming at all.

I would wager quite a lot that less than one out of every ten executives could properly explain what an SQL injection is, or even know the term at all. They would not write a prompt like this.

I worked for one executive who read an article about APIs and came to me and told me to start using APIs. In 2010. I told him it sounded good and I would look into it.

My exec asked “how is the ODBC coming?” We were a Linux shop. Also we weren’t, like, doing anything near the type of work that… it still baffles me. After a beat I said “good.”
