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.

LLMs are neural networks my man

No, they’re not.

MIT's McGovern Institute disagrees with you: https://mcgovern.mit.edu/2023/03/27/smart-bots-what-language-models-like-chatgpt-tell-us-about-intelligence-and-the-human-brain/

Developed by the company OpenAI, ChatGPT is an example of a deep neural network, a type of machine learning system that has made its way into virtually every aspect of science and technology.

The University of Michigan disagrees with you: https://online.umich.edu/collections/artificial-intelligence/short/what-is-generative-ai-what-are-llm/?playlist=ai-foundations

Large language models refer to the use of deep neural network [sic] to predict the next word, and these models are large in the sense that they have billions, or hundreds of billions of parameters.

Surveys of academic literature disagree with you: https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/2412.03220v1

These models far exceed the complexity of conventional neural networks, often encompassing dozens of neural network layers and containing billions to trillions of parameters.

Are you sure this is the hill you want to die on, Sparky?
