"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.

Their current business model depends on keeping the AI hype going on, so from their perspective it is a good investment.
Hype amongst the public seems to be waning. Look at the woman who recently took over Xbox assuring people it wouldn't get filled with AI slop. They're starting to realise people don't want the shit they're selling. But it's not like the markets have any correlation with reality.
Wait, you read a CEO statement and believed her? Watch as everything she said turns out to be false. This is an old corporate tactic, put women in power positions just to push them under a bus. Her job is to kill Xbox and take the fall. Microsoft doesn't want a gaming division anymore. This is why all they do is shutdown studios. They only got in because they feared Sony consoles would compete as cheap computers on the corporate market. It was never meant to go this far.
I didn't believe her, of course not. But the fact she said it shows they are aware people don't want their AI bullshit.
That and getting people so hooked on AI that they actually can't use their own brains, and are forced to use it as the price climbs higher and higher to make it profitable
