"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.

Of course they can! It’s how LLMs work! They generate a string of tokens minimising its deviation from their statistically trained parameter set! The more parameters, the closer to the training material the output will be.
It is not a surprise. The IA scam companies are ‘improving’ their models using brute force and adding more and more parameters.
Due to this, I wonder if the real value of this tech long term will be as an extreme lossy compression algorithm.
