"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.

And now the narrative has shifted to doing things fast without understanding. Otherwise you'll be antiquated and outclassed.

It is true. I feel left behind—like I don't belong in a world infested with ai slop.

What has gotten me about the recent decade of change is the devaluation of creativity.

I have an art degree but work in tech (and am a working artist, but that's beside the point) and being able to approach complex problems creatively sets a person apart from other people in a very positive way. My team at my day job is made of four different people with unique perspectives and when building something new, we all test it because we all notice different things and end up having different suggestions for ways to improve it.

However, things don't always work, and that's the other half of creativity: identifying and dreaming up methods to work around processes that do not function correctly without creating negative impacts to users and other folks involved in the project.

And in another ten years it's eminently possible that I'll be working with a person in their 20's who cannot function without putting a prompt into a machine.
