"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.

Yes, with openai, or Google. That's why I hope we can move more to FOSS agents. Currently, big tech uses our data against us to try and manipulate us.

With big data processing being more available, things like price checking and review checking can be automated. The problem is its always cat and mouse. Browser extensions started by finding you discount codes and automatically entering them. Then they started to mine your data and swap referral codes to theirs as they enshittified.

LLM's are here to stay nut they are not groundbreaking in the way businesses hope, replacing workers. They are useful in replacing tasks. They are just not consistently good at those tasks. They shift the cognitive effort in many cases. Well, we should use them to shift the effort back onto corporations.
