"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.

Speaking during an interview on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" segment earlier this week, CEO of cybersecurity giant Palo Alto Networks Nikesh Arora implored the tech industry to lower the cost of AI.

During the segment, the chief executive argued that the cost to use large language models (LLMs) has to drop by 20 percent by 2027 — and 90 percent by 2028 — for the tech to be useful to enterprises.

"We need to see the pricing for AI come down," Arora said.

by outsourcing comprehension and cognition with workslop.

Omg I have seen this so much in my last job. Everyone else blindly trusting the LLM while I was calling it a fucking moron because it was wrong most of the time and when it was right it still couldn't solve the actual problem. Even common issues it frequently fucked up with.

The really insidious way to abuse it is to summarise a report youre supposed to read into an email you send to your colleague. Now they are the ones that have to do all of the reading to make sure it's right. Same with making and interpreting emails. The thorough person who actually verifies everything is doing outsourced comprehension and cognition from a colleague who didn't do that to appear more productive.
