"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.

There is a reason people talk to ai instead of people, unfortunately. If you don't know for a fact that someone has people in their life who enjoy listening to them, you shouldn't suggest that those people somehow exist, not unless you're sure that they do. You have to be sure as in you really know, not sure as in "I'm sure they mean well." People often do not actually mean well.
The thing with is: if you have passion for something you want to let others experience these feelings as well. And i dont need to know someone to tell them about my passion projects and they only need the tiniest of positive response for me to enjoy helping them... I hope you have something you are passionate about to understanding what i am trying to convey. The crucial part is the "i dont need to know someone well to enjoy helping them" and i know for a fact that a huuuge percentage of people share that mindset. Sooo:
I know there is someone in your life that would love to share their passion for cooking with you!
And btw: suggesting there is someone in your vicinity to help you with your problem leads to them masking around for help leads to the person broadening their circle which makes it evermore likely to find someone which actually wants to help.
Some people don't get a positive response. I know that's really hard to believe. And from an outsider's perspective you see why they get a negative response, because a lot of these folks just "say things wrong." It's really hard to explain unless you've seen it before.
