"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've tried to use it before for troubleshooting but even with as much detail as I can manage, it almost always gives me irrelevant boilerplate advice. I get it, it's a predictive model and the most common answer to the question. The problem is, tech issues are specific and general advice isn't going to solve it (plus man, of course I rebooted, duh).
I found that instead of AI, it's always an obscure forum post that saves me. Like, cold boot after a 30 second power off saved me so much trouble after going Windows to Linux, and AI didn't even have that in the 60 bullets of advice it was giving. Ugh.
