"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.

False equivalence.
Nuclear technology had obvious applications from the early days of its inception. LLMs have no obvious (nor inobvious) applications after years of development and being crammed into every orifice humanity has to offer.
Time to just shut them down and save the power for things that might actually accomplish something useful.
I disagree it has great potential to do great things for humanity. Also great evil same as nuclear technology.
OK, but all of that potential can be researched in a lab. It doesn't need a trillion dollars worth of new data centres, right?
Yes but thats not the way we are going...
LLMs have no potential to do anything for humanity.
AI in general might, eventually, be a net positive (previous waves of it are still used in the very narrow niches where they bring value) but not this run into the next AI winter. And indeed this run into the next AI winter will likely not even survive in niches. LLMs are just too problematical even when laser-focused on very narrow niche applications.
