"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.

Is this today's parlance for a good old jerk off? I can't catch up with the youth
No, it’s probably just boring chatter - these people are slowly disconnecting from normal (or even problematic) human interaction, growing into a sort of symbiotic relationship with the machine.
Symbiotic means mutually beneficial. Half or more of the time it's not benefitting the human and machines cannot benefit from any experience.
The models are also trained on user interaction
They love to syphon up all the data for 'training' so it could be argued that it's mutually beneficial... but it's comparable to that zombie virus/fungus that infects and takes over the caterpillar
Parasitic?
Yes, it would have been the better choice of words I guess
