"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 wrote it to prove that for most people LLMs impair learning.
Yes counting the billionaire subsidies. But it's very costly on the planet.
Sorry most people do. Few people use heroin to get better from sickness doesn't mean the majority of people who get their hands on it will abuse it.
Everything you said is anecdotal—that too a very unpopular opinion at that. Lol.
yay we both agree. What has worked in schools is banning a calculator until a student gets proficient in basic arithmetic and math.
That's what has worked. You can obviously use a calculator to check your answers etc without cheating and get better at math.
But that rarely happens in the real world.
If you haven't done even a little bit of assembly then you don't know the fundamentals of CS—how a processor works etc. Yes I would criticize such devs.
They fool you into thinking that you learned a lot. Why don't you learn something with ai and then take a university exam or apply it in the world with chatgpt off?
I'm sure you'll fail horribly.
