"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.

Ok, but just to play daivels advocate: If you can't tell they are cheating without tricks, can't they do that learn+read+apply thingie using AI just as well???
That's the question, isn't it?
I think for some things it will work out, but as we are seeing with programming: the problem isn't apparent in surface level, but in real understanding. And if a certain task need an understanding to apply knowledge, LLM can't help with that.
Shit, this also reminds me of Manna, a short story about AI that starts out by micromanaging workers. In a way that is what LLMs are doing here.
Interesting story, thanks for sharing. Let's hope something like the Australia Project is possible in our future and not only Manna.
Pro-tip: If you're young, immigrate to Taiwan and get citizenship, then you'll eventually be annexed by China during the collapse lol.
