"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.

The general view of Asians population-wide is negative¹, so that's going to be in any output, no matter what the context.
¹ Don't believe me? Ask anybody Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, etc. in 2020-2023, say. Or anybody Sikh post-9/11. Or ...
I have no reason to doubt that, it's a stereotype I haven't heard, but tbh I'm actively avoiding people who would have that view.
It's mostly based on memes, where as far as I know, Asians are usually considered the smart archetype, but I understand that's not really a reliable source of widespread view about a race.
