"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.

Hello everyone did you need someone in here being a complete pedant? Here I am!
I would spell this slopperator, not sloperator. Putting only one consonant between O and E makes this read "SLOPE-r-ator", like the slope of a hill. Also, there's precedent, if you have a lot of slop, maybe you're sloppy (two p's).
Sloperator sounds like someone who really likes linear regression.
Hello, how mad do you get over the suffix "-copter"?
As "helicopter" is made of "helico" (~helix, twisty) + "pter" (wing).
"That's a very nice hill, 8/10."
"Nice curves!"
this is the kind of pedantry I can get behind
Opperator then too?
This kind of pedantry is 100% not needed.
However, it absolutely is wanted. You're wonderful, keep being you.
They're a smooth opperator.
I love you and respect you, but I still like 'sloperator' better.
The double p just looks too pretentious.
I think the slope rator misreading is an acceptable price to pay.
You're getting caught up on slope being a different word. If you think of it as slow-per-ator it still works towards the intent.
Was this an ai comment?
It had a point and it made that point in one small paragraph with a little personality and no emojis or em-dashes.
I love that you're saying "it" because it's a dolphin.
lol dolphins can have gendered pronouns, but comments can't.
Oh shit, I guess it makes sense lol. See, you can tell I'm not AI because I'm stupid sometimes
No, I wrote it myself.
