"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.

Management prefers to make the risk because they quite literally don't give a toss. They understand exactly 0% of what it is that you do, if they don't walk by you every morning they don't even know your name, and even if they get caught absolutely asleep on the job producing absolute slop, oh well they pull the golden parachute cord and off to the next gig.
Literally no one can point at anything that AI has produced that actually works, or does, well, anything at my place of main employment. Yet we are all in. Everything is "Oh Michael has something great that was created and we can't wait for you to see it, and Michael's like either a) "Sure thing bob, we are just fine tuning it, can't wait to show it off", or b) "Yes I can't wait to share it with everyone", and then literally just never does.
It's literally a circus. I have a woman on my team, who wanted to try it, wrote a pretty good prompt, asking for something pretty basic. Who like an hour later was like you know what, I'll just do it myself, I could have had this done 45 minutes ago. It's literal crap. Pages and pages and pages of absolute walls of text. All fancy writing, feels insightful, but of course nothing actually useful.
