I translate for a living, and sometimes I'm forced to translate marketing. Lately there's a shift in the bullshit copy I receive to work on. Slogans 6 months ago were all 'Use AI or your company goes broke!' and now it's 'Use our product to make your AI agents more efficient and reduce token use!'. It's hilarious, I'm half ashamed to have to participate in perpetuating this garbage, and fascinated that any decision maker in any organization would keep adding layers of bullshit on top of their tech stack to stay ahead of the competition. I wonder how many layers of bullshit they can still squeeze between reality and profit before it all comes down.

"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.
