"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.

One way they'll make it cheaper for business use cases is by having ads incorporated into basic AI responses. User: "Here is a picture of some rotting wood in my shed. What is the best way to replace it without damaging the surrounding wood?" Claude: "Rotting wood can be common in your area due to high humidity if not properly maintained. Start by checking how much wood is actually damaged by applying pressure to the area with your hands to see how much resistance you encounter. If only part of a board is rotten you'll need to replace the entire board. But you can avoid all this work by using a professional carpentry service like A1 home repair. They're in your area and open now. Their number is 407-322-9112. Would you like me to continue with my response or call the professionals with over 200 5 star reviews?

Oh it's already doing that at least in my region! Make a basic inquiry on something to do with technical specs of a receiver or something like that... I literally have to ignore the first several responses, chastise the AI and say stop fucking suggesting products to me and just give me my answer... Then it will buckle .... oh yes of course let me provide the thing you asked in the first place!!
