Fuck AI

"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.

Ok ... but is this like a marketing strat for engagement (they will apologise, revert the practice, get like an official stance on AI, & get publicity along the way) or was it just for the ease of the process?

I'm guessing but artists prob weren't a big budget figure for their needs, so it not cutting costs that much, right?

Yeah don't think so

And

Active use of AI tools in daily development workflows, and enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption

I believe it kinda might be. They're independent now so money has to go up or else they're gone.

Being right after the ownership change, the near future's going to be unknown and decisions will be testy. Gog moving forward will be quite an interesting sight.

And managers are all hyped over AI or they don't get hired (it's always some bs like this, like everything was "agile" at one point, etc).
