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.

People have a responsibility to themselves. One of the absolute first things I did when I heard about ChatGPT and the ever-increasing coterie of its imitators, was I tested them. I had them talk about things I know and counted the errors and flat-out hallucinated fictions.
Then I said to myself, "you know, they're going to be just as full of shit on things I don't know".
I saw all the lies. I saw all the advertising. I saw the same thing everybody else saw. But I saw it all and then actually tested it.
If people are willing to just believe professional liars—and make no mistake, that's what advertisers are!—without bothering to do a minute's checking, then sorry, that's entirely on them.
