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.
If people were using Photoshop to create spreadsheets you don't say Photoshop is terrible spreadsheet software, you say the people are dumb for using the tool for something that it isn't designed for.
People are using LLMs as search engines and then pointing out that they're bad search engines. This is mass user error.
Correction: companies are implementing it into their search engines. Users are just providing feedback.
Ironically, Google's original non-LLM summary was pretty great. That's gone now.
