"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.

All these comments are missing the goal here was to learn how to use that AI tool, which obviously not using the AI tool would not accomplish.
Yes the entire thing is idiotic, but it's disingenuous to say he could have used an alarm instead. No, using an alarm would not achieve the goal of learning how the AI tool works by giving it a simple task.
A much more laughable fact is that the guy couldn't even write his post without an LLM doing it for him.
