"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.

How anyone thinks they are productive with llm tools is baffling (sh.itjust.works)

It has to be pure ignorance.

I only have used my works stupid llm tool a few times (hey, I have to give it a chance and actually try it before I form opinions)

Holy shit it's bad. Every single time I use it I waste hours. Even simple tasks, it gets details wrong. I correct it constantly. Then I come back a couple months later, open the same module to do the same task, it gets it wrong again.

These aren't even tools. They're just shit. An idiot intern is better.

Its so angering people think this trash is good. Get ready for a lot of buildings and bridges to collapse because of young engineers trusting a slop machine to be accurate on details. We will look back on this as the worst era in computing.

every time I use it, i waste hours

Yes, exactly this. It looks good, I ask for it to tweak something. It tweaks, but now something else needs adjustment. Then it comes back unusable.

It ends up taking the same time as doing it myself. There’s some value perhaps in either the novelty or engagement that keeps me focused but it’s not more efficient.

When it does work, I’m always worried it is an illusion I’ve missed something. Like how you send an email and immediately see the typo.

People who love it, love it because they don’t need to or care about having accuracy and precision in their work. Sales and marketing, management, etc. Business idiots.
