"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.

Nah there’s a lot of propaganda going around about LLMs and programmers. There’s some real die-hard advocates who think their own experiences project to the whole industry. It’s fucking awful at specialised domains with large proprietary codebases. Even if you get past needing a complete lack of moral backbone it just doesn’t make any sense to use in a lot of codebases - not that companies aren’t about to learn an expensive lesson about why.
