"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.

This exactly. Ask AI questions you wouldn't know who to ask to. Researching a niche history subject and have a question? Not everybody's actively going to school or knows a history major. Ask AI and it will do it's best to give you an answer, maybe it'll find something you missed. There is the risk of AI being wrong, but there's the risk of a history major being wrong too. Verify the answer if you're paranoid, but I think AI's at the point where it can help people learn more efficiently if it's used correctly.
Do this with a Local AI and you get the added benefit of not worrying about wasting water or "burning down rainforests".
