"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.

I wouldn't call canals or railroads fads though. Canals were the main route of inland transportation for a half century and railroads were for a century.
They were transformative infrastructure that laid the groundwork for later forms of infrastructure. Either AI isn't that and this analogy falls apart or AI is that and we should be worried about whatever it's laying the groundwork for.
