"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 wish more people would understand that LLMs are "taking" extremely few jobs away. The "chatbots can do a real job" narrative is just there to bump up the stock prices.
A real AI would incur massive job loss, but the job losses we're seeing now being blamed on AI are really just the same normal oligarchal greed at work.
Right now the ai companies are highly substadising their products. They announced recently that it actually costs them more than it does to pay a human engineer to write the same code.
That means it's just a trap. They are trying to get companies to go all in so they will be dependent on them when the engineers are gone and they will raise the price significantly.
They are betting on it VERY hard with massive data centers though.
