"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.

Just heard this today - co worker used an LLM to find him some shoes that fit. Basically prompted it to find specific shoes that fit wider/narrower feet and it just scraped reviews and told him what to get. I guess it worked perfectly for him.

I hate this sort of thing - however this is why normies love LLM's. It's going to be the new way every single person uses the internet. Hell, on a new win 11 install the first thing that comes up is copilot saying "hey use me i'm better than google!!"

Frustrating.

I have found no use for trivial stuff as I don't trust what it outputs. If I have to verify its answer, I might as well just research it on my own, it's literally more work to ask and research than to just research

At work, the only use I have found is to provide fake data so I can run some tests as I work on confidential stuff I cannot use directly. For example, they other day I asked for 30 super hero name, last name, gender and DOB table just to pick from. I could easily do it by hand as it does not have to be accurate at all, but it was faster to prompt than to just randomly type and I did not care if it missed the prompt (very rare scenario IMO)
