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.

Set aside the cut n paste, what exactly would the Grokanical Türk "fix"?
The comments in your code being too woke
Error 608: Insufficient Hitler
Remove all state machine implementations because they support transitions.
I keep seeing claims that grok is a "mechanical Turk", but searching turns up nothing. What evidence is there of this?
I think it's just a joke, as we've seen many AI projects are just Indians.
Yeah it seems pretty unlikely that any AI chat bots are manipulating code in the complex (whether the output is correct or not is immaterial to the complexity of the changes being made) ways that they are that quickly despite actually being done by humans.
Evidence of what?
Of being a person responding instead of an llm.

Ah, ok. That's not really what it means, but I see what you meant.
