"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.

I think the garlish recipe that grew deadly botulism cultures is still the banger. Looks innocent and can kill your whole family (here the original reddit post - "Google Gemini tried to kill me").
And it is a good example why being right 50% of the time is not good enough and definitely not safe even for very commonday things.
That’s what I don’t get about people who try to justify AI by saying ‘well it’s not always wrong’
It’s not about the fact that it’s not always wrong, it’s about the fact that it might very well bloody kill you if it gets something severely wrong
The thing is that natural intelligence has literally evolved to protect living beings like us. While "artificial intelligence" can manipulate language symbols all day but it has no understanding what being alive is, what having a body is, what a body is, what ethics is or what social connections are.
Stunningly illustrated by the readiness with which the clankers give people in pain helpful recommendations for suicide.
Yes, I agree. It’s amazing how artificial intelligence will always be a ‘shadow’ or ‘emulation’ rather than a practical, genuine intelligence
