"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.

Stephen Schueller, a professor of psychological science at the University of California, Irvine, said AI chatbots cannot fully replace friends or therapists but there are circumstances where the bots might be helpful. “Most people don’t have access to a therapist,” he said. “So for them, it’s not chatbot versus therapist. It’s chatbot versus nothing.”

Is the chatbot better than nothing though?

It's better than nothing. It's nothing with a massive power and water footprint.
