"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 don't... quite get this. Even assuming the LLM made legit queries, you're ok with paying 75 cents for every time you perform what's essentially a web search? Then add in the fact that it hallucinates constantly and you've got how many times a day your search results are blatant lies that you paid 75 cents for it to tell you?
And the AI companies are still losing money after charging 75c!
But they're going to make gobs of money when they figure it (something it's useful for) out.
They just need to burn some more... Money... First.
Burn money and destroy the environment. Double win!
