"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 do get your sentiment, and can see it applicable in these cases.. But I also think we should put a lot more focus on creating models specialised for these important tasks, instead of using these super large and heavy genAI models.
As it currently stands, the research seems to be largely focusing on just pushing the expensive limits of these models, and pushing the olligarch agendas, which is a bit unfortunate, since this field has potential to be super beneficial.
Agreed. My comment was more GenAI in general. Not utilizing a general purpose model shoehorned into a specific task.
