"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 mean, has it's uses for sure, but the scope in which people are deploying these cookiecutter generalist LLMs and expecting bloody miracles is unrealistic. Plus, I like my privacy, AI's are kind of an antithesis of that. Environmental cost is way too high as well.
It's a tool, and it can be used successfully, but it's so inefficient that I can't justify it personally.
i kinda feel like you could do better with the basics of good documentation, good tutorials, and good training. is AI really helping in the long run?
