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.

Right, like, ... I can imagine how some of the sociopathic fools who tend to find themselves in executive positions could be fooled into thinking this was a sensible cost-saving measure... But anyone who's capable of an ounce of reasoning, or who has any basic understanding of generative AI or statistics, shouldn't need more than a few seconds to realize why this could not ever provide output that would reliably emulate a survey of actual humans.
