"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's free ad money! One bot makes music, 100000 bots listen, and all that ad money is yours to keep.
Advertisers aren’t going to be happy about that. I wonder how this cat-and-mouse game is going to play out. Will there be more ads for the listeners and less money for the artists?

It's bots all the way down.
AI generated ads, placed on AI generated videos, watched by bots… I guess the products being sold are also targeted to the bot segment of the market.
