"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.

The seemingly constant degradation of available, meaningful information. I’m not sure if it’s the search engines, the website content, or just my imagination, but attempting to obtain reliable information using any other online means seems to be getting harder little by little.
I blame a combination of the willful push towards ai, over-usage for it went it is not needed, and the documented feedback loop of llms now consuming more and more llm generated content leading to less and less actual content, or real content being buried in the generative maelstrom of ai written feces.
Couple that with the llm biases, guardrails and annoying quirks (spelling mistakes, repeated words/code, hallucinating sources, etc) and my trust in anything touched with ai is gone.
Things like factuality and informativeness have improved and continue to improve, but the hate only gets more widespread, so I don't know if this covers the phenomenon
I get the sense that you are here to promote Ai, more than debate based on your other responses, though that in itself is debate-worthy in my opinion.
The negative implications of generative ai far outweigh the benefits to anyone other than those looking to somehow cash in on the current craze.
Not only is it frighteningly unsustainable, willfully enshrouded in deep misinformation/propaganda, dangerously unregulated and desperately over-hyped, it has also contributed far greater losses to society compared to any fathomable gains.
Using the argument that it will get better doesn’t really sit well with real people that are already dealing with job losses, water scarcity, grid problems, privacy invasion, sophisticated fraud attempts, hallucinated information, data loss…. The list goes on.
It’s only a matter of time before the costs catch up to these providers and they either have to introduce heavy biases to specific products or services to generate ad revenue en masse, or abandon ship leaving the rest of us to deal with the consequences.
If you really are here to promote AI as I suspect, then I wish you the best of luck.
You are going to need it.
