"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 am a little shocked at the lack of solidarity I see between artists working in different mediums wrt genAI.

Musicians who would never use it to make music use it to make cover art

Graphic artists reach for it to make music over their videos

Writers use it to illustrate their articles

And, considering software development an art, many use it to create web sites or apps to host their art.

None of this is necessary. All of this is harmful to the other artists.

Collaborate ffs.

Stop it.

Also a software engineer that did NLP research projects in university (pre-LLM days). You can imagine how hair-pullingly stupid I think all of this is as someone that is very familiar with how these models work and are trained.

It should be blindingly obvious that this shit shouldn't be trusted with anything important, yet here we are. A little while ago I watched as one of our senior devops guys was using an LLM to execute scripts/commands for migrating a legacy production environment to a new environment, which was something that we had been meticulously planning for months as it was very complicated. But here he was, cowboying his way through it with an LLM that could have easily done a ton of damage with a single mistaken command. And we were watching this happen over a screen share.

Things did go wrong, but fortunately the problems were minor enough that we could fix it easily enough. It could have been so much worse though.
