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.

I really can't understand this LLM hype (note, I think models used for finding cures to diseases and other sciences are a good thing. I'm referring to the general populace LLM hype).

It's not interesting. To me, computers were so cool and interesting because of what you can do yourself, with just the hardware and learning code. It's awesome. What I don't find interesting in any way is typing a prompt. "But bro, prompt engineer!" that is about the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard.

How anyone thinks its anything beyond a parlor trick baffles me. Plus, you're literally just playing with a toy made by billionaires to fuck the planet and the rest of us over even more.

And yes, to a point I realize "coding" is similar to "prompting" the computers hardware...if that was even an argument someone would try to make. I think we can agree it's nowhere near the same thing.

I would like to see if there is a correlation between TikTok addicts and LLM believers. I could guarantee it's probably very high.

Some people say everything was more interesting when you still needed to learn and know things, figure out stuff and work for it. And today everything is just provided as a service, people know shit about things they just use on a surface level and have no control over, or understanding of...

Thats why I enjoy digging into and actually learning things and using my BRAIN. something a minutia of LLM users do.

As a fellow bridge enjoyer, I look forward to discussing various bridges with you when the rest of intelligent civilization has completely collapsed and only the finest bridges remain standing.
