"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.

Merriam Webster is my least trusted dictionary. Meanings and words I've looked up in the past have been either inaccurate or biased to a North American understanding. I use English English, and prefer Cambridge and (secondary due to online paywall) Oxford (UK ver.).
You don't like Merriam-webster because the american dictionary company caters to American English?
It's a legit reason to not like something
It doesn't always clarify it is American English, and implies to non-English speakers that it is the standard form, when it is a variation. This, along with American English teachers around the world teaching their form, misrepresents English itself.
