"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.

I don't even consider LLMs that. I just consider them a massive waster of power and water that inherently degrade everything they touch and have terrible impacts on cognitive and behavioral health.
I'm not worried that AI is gonna take my job, not in a thousand years, what I'm worried about is that AI is going to BURN THIS PLANET on top of being a constant daily annoyance.
For me they are a glorified search engine and data compiler.
That wastes tens/hundreds of times more resources than actual search engines, which actually searches content instead of making it up.
