"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.

Neighbourhood association used AI to split bills (lemmy.world)

First of all I don't live in a neighbourhood with something equivalent of a HOA, but we do have an organisational unit that involves the group of 6 homes where I live in.

We had a meeting regarding the repair of a shared drain pipe following an inspection we had earlier this year, the camera inspection had a cost of €120 that was equally divided among 6 households, so €20 each, nice and easy.

After getting the quote for the repairs, one of our neighbours asked chatgpt to split the bill, €1500 divided by 6.

edit: paraphrasing, he proudly said "I asked chatgpt and 1500/6 is 250”

Do you really need to ask an LLM to divide two numbers? something the cheapest calculator can do instantly, or better yet, something you can easily do I your head?

To decide to use the calculator app, you have to know two things first:

AIs are bad at maths. Some people just never heard of that because they don't read any tech news and never questioned the results of AI.
Where your calculator app is. If you rarely use it and take several seconds to find it, prompting "Calculate 1500/6" might actually be faster.

So assuming the person this thread is about never questioned those things, using AI could be considered a logical decision. Not good, but logical.
