"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 had the opposite problem: I felt a steep constitutional objection to fluff, and writing with a length requirement was hell. Not because I was being lazy but because I was already kind of terrible (raised near-exclusively on the infamous 5-paragraph, 3-point plus thesis and conclusion, template) and then on top of that could not morally write garbage filler unless it was the very last minute.
... And that's how I ended up editing on Wikipedia for 10 years where concision is the point and the real work is overwhelmingly in the research.
