"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.

Seeing this... this is what really old people must feel like when they begin any kind of serious cognitive decline. The world starts looking strange, familiar but somehow wrong, and everyone just acts like this is normal. Things used to make sense, but now everything seems stupid and devoid of meaning and context.
I get that feeling all the time now, to the point where I honestly ask myself if I’m personally in cognitive decline.
For instance, in the next top level comment after yours someone misspelled the subject of their sentence as “get” (presumably instead of “they”) and I stumbled over the sentence a couple of times before understanding that “get” shouldn’t be in there at all. No one else acknowledges it, so I ask myself several times “I didn’t misread this, it’s incorrect right? Is it me?”
Between AI images, rampant misspellings, understandable ESL snafus, and people just saying full blown gibberish or bizarre political views, I’m hit with something perplexing about once per minute of reading, which has me really considering my mental health.
Everyone has to act like it's normal or else the person with cognitive decline can become very destructive very quickly.
Nailed it.
