"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.

Generative transformers are specifically trained to model the statistical landscape of natural language and use that model to predict the next word in a sequence, i.e. the most statistically-likely next token. Their output is, by definition, average.
That's the entire point of LLMs: to produce output that's indistinguishable from the average.
