"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.

Though nobody expected it in the first place, AI is not perfect and can make mistakes (obviously 🙄) What’s your experience with this? I’d love to hear about it.

EDIT: Thanks to Iran's refusal to allow reporters or international investigators to look at the debris of one school which was bombed recently killing about 170 children, we may never know with any certainty who was responsible, but it is highly likely that the USA bombed the site because the building was included in legacy documents and AI would likely not exclude such older intel.


Changhan Kim, CEO of the South Korean gaming company KRAFTON, decided he needed a way out of a costly acquisition deal, he asked ChatGPT.

It didn't work.

Obviously this was only a $250 Million dollar mistake (and ruined what little reputation his company had) but if you want an example which results in potential loss of human life: UnitedHealthcare has spent the last few years automating claim denial.


The US Department of State has also been using AI to shut down federal programs which include the words "gender", "binary", and "inclusive" for being woke dei. As a result grants were denied for museum air conditioning and publishing mathematics papers.


Early adopters of AI included Airlines which resulted in lawsuits over refundable tickets, and drive-thrus resulting in the purchase of 9000x Water (free).


TBH, in my opinion, all LLM output is worthless slop, equally stupid, always the dumbest. The only way we quantify one being dumber than the other is by the idiocy of the user justifying their insane actions with it because it's a machine which inherently causes psychosis in the dumb and feeble.

And the state department is using AI for making their maps.

God damn. I gotta follow up on that. With enough finangling I might get appointed Ambassador.

Well everyone knows the Ivory Coast is famously land locked.
