"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.

Well, if you compare against one of the known worst offenders you will always look better.
But also, the cattle farms at least produce food. For humans to eat. Like, we need food. We don't need waifu chatbots.
This is the same argument as "a human baby takes years of nurture and training until it can do task too." Like, yeah, but that's a human. The reason we do all this shit.
In all fairness, while humans need food to survive, we don’t need beef and there are objectively better options for sustainability than animal agriculture.
Not saying AI isn’t abhorrent, but the argument that beef makes food so its water consumption is not appalling isn’t strong.
Of course. It's still of greater and more essential use to us than waifu chatbots.
I didn't say it's not appaling. I did say at least it makes something useful, and that comparing the two does not absolve AI.
