"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.

"Stunned the tech industry"... I'm in the tech industry and we all hate how LLMs are being used.
I wish the hate was more widespread, I also work in the tech industry and there are plenty of people who i have to work with who have given themselves up completely to having Claude do everything for them. I have never been so frustrated not only trying to keep up but also fixing problems overlooked by LLMs and then absorbing LLM generated responses to pr reviews or to why something broke in production
My favourite new term for those people is 'meat proxy'.
