"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.

Doesn't Word have spell check for decades? If you "triple check" your AI, aren't you just adding more work? If you only need a spell checker, get a spell checker. Having AI spend 20 times the processing power needed for that is still extremely inefficient.
We probably don't need to build multiple terabytes of data centers for a better spell checker.
