"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.

Ahead of a Syracuse, New York, stop on his “Bigger & Weirder” tour, Yankovic revealed to Syracuse.com in an interview published this week that he was offered “a nice pile of money” to appear in a commercial for business-focused software, but he backed out once he realized the ad would involve AI. “I’m not a fan of AI,” he said.

I call it the mirror test. It’s like looking in the mirror and recognizing it’s a mere reflection or not.

Of course, not all people who are anti-AI are necessarily folks I will agree with on other things, even assholes get it right on occasion. But it certainly has been the case that the non-assholes have been very consistently like Weird Al here...
