Fuck AI

"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’m proud of the fact that I don’t understand this.

[–] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

You and me both.

It wastes tokens which is good. Every penny my boss spends on AI brings the company closer to bankruptcy.

My company has just implemented a token leaderboard. I find that asking particularly insane questions burns more tokens, since it won't have previous results to fall back on.

Kind sir, could you share those questions? I'm in great need!

If the agent can't tell a contextual comment from an actionable code line, then it is indeed a wasted token. Not because of the header, but because of the "AI" being a useless POS.

Which, to be fair, is the case in pretty much all scenarios.

Wasn't a comment, it was a header in a markdown prompt for ai agents to slurp into their context.
