"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.

Oooooooor, AI isn't actually worthless at everything it does. It's a useful technology as long as the user is aware of its limitations.
I get the whole "fuck ai" thing but the mental gymnastics some people put themselves through is wild. The enemy is both weak and strong!
Mental gymnastics? I can't fathom how people keep finding new reasons and justifications for using such fundamentally evil technology. Its not that there's no nuance to be had in the conversation, but any positive uses are purely theoretical at this point, because they can't be realized with the technology in its current state.
"Guys guys guys, I know the tech was built with fundamentally horrible intentions and is trained on nothing but stolen work and is killing the planet and yada yada yada but if we're just aware of its limitations and use it for good... somehow... it's totally not useless."
You're getting downvoted but its the truth. We're constantly exposed to slop or negligent use of AI, none of that means AI isn't scarily good at the things it does. It is.
And just to clarify, fuck AI, but some of y'all do need a reality check about the technology's capabilities.
