"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.

Instead, companies with the highest gains were those using AI as a form of "people amplification", rather than outright replacing them.

Another study proving that the reality is drastically different from all the hype.

Stick to companies that use AI sensibly rather than force it onto their staff & products.

It was a smokescreen. They literally used AI as an excuse for layoffs in order to maximize profits and minimize overhead in the short term.

I'm all for studying this to have science back up what we already knew, but at the same time I absolutely am having a "duh" moment here.
