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.

Using it sometimes sure. It's sometimes better than google at giving me answers, and it's great at troubleshooting dumb mistakes (or processing large amounts of code for things like security issues, but I don't do that).

I also have little doubt that ML as a whole will reshape the world much like the WWW did - we do have an awful lot of compute now that could be used for more useful ML applications. But as it's going, I doubt LLM's will go much further. More and more people are seeing past the insane promises and realize they're tools for some specific jobs, particularly once the pricing adjusts the use cases will likely be quite narrow.
