"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.

Axios updated the story:

Editor's note: This story has been updated to note that Aaru is an AI simulation research firm.

But still stands by their claim:

New findings by Aaru, an AI simulation research firm, for Heartland Forward show that a majority of people trust their own doctors and nurses

What kind of bullshit "fact checking" is this?

"New findings by Smegma, an Xbox chatroom research firm, show that your mother is a woman of loose morals who has had sexual intercourse with dozens of Xbox gamers."

Pretty much this

Also, expect much more of this, if not the vast majority of opinion polls to be like this
