"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.

I find myself only ever using AI for images and such anymore. It's clearly not competent enough to be trusted the way average people have been relying on it. I switched to open weight local models and they honestly seem to work better than the large online models with proper prompting, and acting as a assisting tool rather than a creativity/skill replacer. Still have to double check everything it outputs if it is critical information.
That said, I wouldn't be torn up in the slightest if it was gone right now.
