"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.

Except it totally is going away on its own. Degenerative AI in all its forms is profoundly unprofitable. The whole "AI" sphere out there right now is a circle-jerking, obfuscated Ponzi scheme. The basic problem is unassailable: it costs more to use degenerative AI than anybody is willing to pay for it. So literally every AI company right now is bleeding cash like crazy, and the one AI-adjacent company that is on the books turning record profits is using accounting trickery to make it look like that; one that's predicated on the assumption that 100% of its account receivables will actually pay off.
Protip: none of its account receivables from the AI firms is going to pay off.
