"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.

One idea I read is that showing others LLM output should be considered rude. If folks find the tools useful, by all means use them, but do others the service of translating the output back into verified, truthful, human signal first.
It's like asking a person for their opinion, only to have them google in front of you and then read the first result out in a boring monotone voice.
It's obvious they don't respect you enough to accept giving just "i think x"/" i assume x "/"i dont know".
Yes, exactly. With Search, one evaluates a source or two, weighs veracity, reconsiders the current problem given the new information, then comes to a conclusion. All that's out the window with LLMs. Just trust the output without any critical thought. Even worse, just paste the output to a friend or coworker like it's authoritative.
Here's a quick story: I have one colleague who ran some source code through an LLM to summarize what it was doing. Then they copied the output, pasted it into a document, then claim they "wrote" it and wondered where we could store this document for future reference 🗑️
If folks find the tools useful, by all means stop.
No. It's still rude. If I want to read an AI response, I can generate crap myself. Who gave you the right to throw crap at me?
