Fuck AI

"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 mean honestly I'm still happier with that service than I would be with an actual AI. I mean sure he lied but he's also not using AI so.

The real question is whether an AI meeting interpreter uses more energy and water than a dude in a cubicle. I'm betting on the dude using more resources

I'm okay with not optimizing people out of existence, he also probably won't hallucinate, unless it's microdose Mondays.

We've done it. The worst job on earth. Being an "AI" meeting transcriber for corporate random meetings all day long sounds like true hell on earth.

It was a startup. Gotta start somewhere, lol
