"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.

What industry do you work in? I've found it extremely helpful for research and finding solutions to engineering related problems.
I work in orthotics and prosthetics, basically I evaluate patients, build, and then fit people custom braces and fake limbs.
It's a really small field and it is really hands on. It's hard enough for students to find actual books on the subject, let alone something that has enough available information for an AI to scrape from. I think the last time I checked my field was one of the lowest professions at risk to be affected by automation in the future.
