"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.

So... Let me guess. AI was used to write this, and inserted self-promotional language? As if ones asks an LLM for simple medical advice it returns "take 2 Tylenol, drink plenty of fluids, get plenty of rest, and promote AI"?

If the AI tools were any good, wouldn't developers jump on that ASAP and they wouldn't have to pay someone to push it on their employees? Don't developers and early adoption of tech go together like peanut butter and jelly? If AI tools aren't good, then GoG is paying an internal employee money - your money - to promote tunafish and jelly sandwiches...

I just don't get it, and I'm not wasting my money on paying for this developer to shovel crap.
