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.

Just yesterday I caught a client emailing me an entire RFQ that he generated with a fucking LLM. I know this because he didn't read it, and was too stupid to strip off the inevitable "sure, I can help you with that" at the top.

...His dumbass chatbot asked for not one, but two sizes of product that do not exist, while blithely assuring the reader that they do. Complete with a purported citation, the link for which I did not get because it pasted everything as plain text, but I can at least see that the text named the website of one of our competitors which at this point is probably also a "source" that was generated by an LLM.

It also suggested he ask about a specific product which just so happened to be one that did not meet actual original criteria, which was specified on the line directly preceding it.

If I'd have let my chatbot respond to this moron's chatbot and he went through with the sale he surely would have lost a few thousand dollars. Luckily for him I don't use LLMs or generative AI in any capacity and I actually read my emails, so I caught this instantly and told him (in corpo-speak, more or less) not to be an idiot.

Events like this are a sad reflection of how generative AI is actually affecting the workplace.

the angry thing is, I'm fighting for my life to get a good job, and idiots like that have a good paying job.
