"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.

OMG you just nailed what I have been trying to articulate for a while now...
AI is basically the old Help file! It's about as useful too!
I only remember Microsoft applications' Help files being as useless as AI.
Other were good.
3DsMAX help files were good (yes I learnt it back when I didn't know Blender was a thing)
Qt Framework help files are great. They even tell me which way of using a thing is desirable and why.
cppreference.com , I have been considering scraping the site and making it available locally as a help file. Maybe they even provide such a thing to download.
Either way. all AI would be doing is reading those help files and making more verbose answers.
