"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.

It's a big difference when a company use AI as tool for the employees to improve the quality and productivity, or use the AI to substitute with an AI experimented employees to save costs. It's not the same a student which use eg. the Sketchapediaº to understand better a complex theme in the research for his essay or simply use a Chatbot to write the essay for him. A designer or artist using an AI in graphical editors for routine tasks or adding some effects to his work, o simply writing a small promt in an AI to create yhe design or artwork. Absolute not needed a Smart Home, Fridge or Toaster with AI to spy on us, to create memes or worse, political influencers using Deep Fakes Research centers, pharmacompanies, medical centers, had made big advances in new medications, treatments in diseases before not curable, new materials, better designs, improved research in physics, astronomy, with results impssibles without AI, researches in days which in traditional manner would have need years.
But this, the AI as tool in the hand of experimented employees and scientists. This is the problem, not really the AI as such, but greedy companies abusing and biasing it, to control, manipulate and scam the users
