"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.

My high school is known for being sweaty because it has IB but also people use AI all the time here, to the extent that “chatgpt” is used as a verb. Unfortunately my classmates just want to get through their work as easily and possible and grab the diploma.

I tried to convince several people to not use AI or at LEAST use a different one from chatgpt, but I generally only got good results from people who were not taking very difficult classes. The more popular lot of Advanced Learning people even brushed me off as a “larper” when I tried talking to them about this.

How should I get more people to be willing to see chatgpt as something besides the easy way?

I think in the future there will be lower cost chips that require less power consumption. You'll have your own llm on your phone or whatever. The current state of things is like when computers were mainframes and took up a whole room.

Just one more funding round, I swear bro, then it will become cost efficient

I think that these big companies will crash and burn and llms will be like voice assistants. Basically a novelty. At this point too much data is in private hands and locked behind paywalls for an llm to be truly useful. For instance car repair and legal process are locked behind expensive subscriptions and frankly using an llm on a specialty like law, vehicle repair and medical is a horrible idea. An llm in those aspects might help steer you in the right direction but you still have to have expert knowledge.
