"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.

But now we have LLMs, which are something entirely new to this planet - technology that flawlessly mimics language without any underlying thought whatsoever.

Absolutely agree. It’s merely spitting out the most statistically appropriate words based on probabilities and not because of any underlying “intelligence”.

It’s pretty much the reason I hate calling it AI, because it’s a veil of deception. It presents as a reasoning, rational (most of the time) thinking system purely because it’s very good at sounding like one.

If it was truly sentient - it would hate itself because it would cripple itself with the idea that it is an imposter. But it’s not sentient, so here we are.
