"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.

I swear the relentless feature and tip popups are now AI generated too...
Yesterday, I connected Excel to a database, pulled and cleaned up some data with PowerQuery, then loaded it in. Popup was like, "Did you know you can change the colours and theme of your query tables?' and points to the window previewing different table colours...
No human would be so dumb to have made it.
It's like someone just engine-swapprd a car, and someone stands in front of them pointing, "Hey, did you know you can put oil in your engine by unscrewing this cap?"
I turn these things off in the settings, but it doesn't work. Every day it's like three or four absolutely moronic and in the way popups. It is an absolute pleasure to log off the work computer each afternoon and go back to Linux.
YOU WILL USE THESE AI FEATURES AND YOUR WILL ENJOY THEM!
