"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.

In most of your examples it's revealed after the fact that AI didn't discover anything it just defeated the test.
How does discovering a new battery chemistry or showing reproducible cancer detection "beating the test"? Look....I fucking hate more implementations of GenAI and generally can't stand it, but those specific use cases are very much valid, even if the other 97% of applications are absolute shit.
