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.

There was a video of it somewhere months ago. They're not taking the wheel; they're just telling the automation to stop what it's doing and give it alternate commands it can actually execute. They showed a gridlock of waymo, they went back to a car that could actually get out of the situation, told it to go park, then told the ones in front of it to back up until the locked car could get out.
Seems like something an autonomous swarm should already be able to do.
