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.

Number must go up.

These products are looking to be sold... and propping up the entire economic bubble in the meantime.

Whether they "work" is entirely besides the point.
