"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.

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.

For a research project, I had to convert 20+ projects from a dataset into a new format. The old format was simply a single script for each project that builds it. But I needed a format with a Docker file and a script. It would've taken me around a week to do all that one by one.

I got Claude to do it in 2 hours.

I know people hate AI in this community, but to say it doesn't do anything good or to insult all people who use it is just pure negativity.

Thats good. It has use cases. Is the monetary and earth destroying cost worth it? Not in the slightest
