"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.

People never really cared about information hygiene.
They tried to teach it at the “dawn of the internet for the average person” back then. The lesson was supposed to be to follow Wikipedia’s links, which do cite primary sources.
This is true.
But it turns out, no one cares. Schools failed. People fundamentally want validation of what feels good, and social media took full advantage of this.
