"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 don't think there is any coming back from this as I think the reputation and level of harm that has been done is too high, it will always be software that is treated with great suspicion and with good reason. There is simply too much harm with very little benefit for people at large. I would rather it all burn and be mostly abandon ware in consumer/business tech. Only used in the original context for academic purposes that it was previously used, without all the weird, creepy cruft that technofascists bolted on. Human beings have more important matters to focus on than LLMs to be frank, it's not an important enough thing to further develop at the moment. I think the higher priority should be repairing the damage done by irresponsible corpos; bringing them to task and properly making sure there are barriers in place so that something like this can never happen again. LLMs will not save us or make our lives particularly better. Developing LLMs further will just bring back another form of the "Torment Nexus" the thing we should never build. But that is just my opinion. As I don't entertain "booster hopium" like some seem to.
