"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 decided to lookup some history of my local area, and i was reading a whole page until i noticed some things didnt add up. It was stating some obscure things such as it (the local place) has it's own currency and whatnot.

I decided to check the sources they used, and i noticed it was some stupid wiki page made by Grok.

Sure i can't fact chek all of it, small point's were correct but for crying out loud. Please.

Nowadays you can’t just read a random website without bumping into slop. Reading stuff online has always been risky, but nowadays you have to be extra critical.

Bad sources have always existed, so these are not radically new skills. The amount of unreliable text out there has completely exploded though, which means most of the material available to you is not worth reading.
