"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.

This is why I'm hoping the bubble pops soon. Too many people trying to gaslight about the utility of it for their self interest.

If it were just "boringly useful, but not mind boggingly profitable somehow", then I'm sure I'd no longer have a ton of people trying to micromanage use of LLM all around me.

Currently, my management has dictated that our failure to see "magic results" is because we just haven't been trained enough, and are paying for and mandating for over 200 hours of training on how to use LLM correctly. The grift is insane, since the whole point of the LLM is that it shouldn't need training to use, but here we are, people found a way to grift training on a 'doesn't need training' solution that doesn't work as advertised...

On a call with a partner, after demonstrating their software and everything it does, one of our executives kept insisting that they need to use LLM and then it would be even better.

So ready to have execs stop caring, and then maybe I'll somehow appreciate the residual utility of it, whatever it is.
