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.

Yeah, because the main thing keeping me from eating at Burger King is whether or not the employees greet me and use “please” and “thank you.” That’s the hard line they keep failing, absolutely.
I get the strong impression the company already sunk costs into AI (as so many others did) and this was just an idea brought up to justify it retroactively.
