"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.

What I meant was, I don't think "pay a human intelligence to do those things [laundry, dishes] for you" scales well for me. Or the the average person. We regularly don't make 10x of what a housemaid costs, so we do that job ourselves. Plus, maids aren't really part of our culture anymore.
What works exceptionally well, though, is machines. I think both my washing machine and my dishwasher do all categories on the Performance–Cost–Convenience. It all comes out clean, they're absurdly cheap for the labour I don't have to do. And it's convenient.
Right... My original comment you responded to was pointing in that direction, which is why it's confusing. It sounds like you're debating against yourself 😅
Thx. Yeah, I can't remember what I was thinking 2 weeks ago. Somehow I felt like expanding on my point 😅. I'll stop now. Have a nice one.
Cheers, you too!
