"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.

If you spend heaps of tokens (hey, new crypto) taking multiple runs on topics that can be easily verified as correct, preferably automatically, like security flaws and mathematical theorems. For everything else it's technical debt, social decohesion, totalitarian auto-enforcement without mercy, billionaires wet dreams of worlds without workers and any number of other 'hallucination' driven misadventures.
Pretty sure, if we last long enough, they'll end up requiring a license to use, they seem as destructive, and yet maybe nearby as useful as cars were in specific cases (and IMO cars turned out pretty bad). As they stand now, only useful in the hands of someone already competent in a given field. Everyone else is in the 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing' zone playing with TNT.
Agreed. The problem being, how does someone become competent if they rely on LLMs to do things.
