"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.

AI (specifically the LLMs for which “hyper scale” datacenters are being built) are by good for summarizing large volumes of text down into a few points with reasonable accuracy.
This makes them good for pouring over all the data you’re being forced to store in the cloud, including your conversations, financials, political donation receipts, and that patent you’re preparing to file for your million-dollar idea that just might work. Please be sure to associate all your accounts with your verified ID or they will be subject to deletion and your name will be automatically listed on the suspected terrorist and pedophile watch lists.
