"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.

Heed my warning science: If we start making flying purple babies, we will bring upon the wrath of the one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater.

By using IVF in vitro method you can pick traits for your baby.

That's incorrect. What is allowed is DNA screening, however there is no editing of DNA.

And we can choose to use AI only in certain domains as well.
