"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.

Taco Bell had it, too. I have never actually completed a purchase with an AI.
Years ago, I adopted a personal policy of driving off as soon as a restaurant attempted to upsell. The Taco Bell AI always attempted to upsell me. 100% reliable on that offensive behavior. But what really and truly pissed me off was that even if I told it "No" or remained silent to its query, it always added the item to my order.
I'm happy to tank their KPIs as "reward" for their AI bullshit.
