"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.

It'd be great if everyone would mention the little bit of AI that they noticed making something worse.
Me, it's extremely petty and first world problemy. I am disabled in the brains, so until recently I was getting a lot of Ubereats delivery.
(Not so much any more, because I live with a kind and generous and extremely good cook now who likes doing culinary experiments on me. Because I'm expendable.)
The descriptions of the food are all the bloody same now. AI slop wall to wall. And when there's pictures, it's best to ignore them because they're so often just slop which might or might not look like food.
It's an incredibly minor issue, but it grinds my gears. Every little piece of everyday human creativity just mashed away into a mediocre paste. No more descriptions like "hottest goddamn curry, no bull, don't complain about the burn you wimp" like my favourite Thai place had for a while.
Just bleh. "Fragrant spices and fresh ingredients combined into a green curry." Thanks AI, real fucken descriptive.
They just seem to guess at the ingredients, too. Which is super helpful for those with dietary restrictions. Doubly so when they disable the "notes" section (where one might specify an allergen they need to avoid, for example.)
I don't use Doordash or Ubereats or whatever myself, but my workplace does. When they want to "reward" us with free lunches, we have to choose something from Doordash. Trying to sift through the menus to find honest descriptions is stressful enough that the reward feels like a punishment. I'd much rather just get the money.
Unfortunately, when I asked them to just give me the money last time this happened, they gave me $5 Doordash credit. The fuck am I even supposed to do with that.
