"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 used to work for a humanitarian organisation, that is to say, I was overworked and underpayed. During my time there, I developed what I think is the perfect answer to pushy bosses who put you under time pressure to deliver:
Do you want the job done quickly ? Or do you want the job done well?
(Neutral tone, neutral facial expressions, average voice volume are a must)
I've changed jobs often ever since. To this day, no boss or client has chosen 'quick', questioned the veracity of my statement/question (this obviously means that you must, indeed, deliver quality) or had the nerve to answer 'both'.
