"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.

Yeah, I kind of agree with you. Both NFTs (and cryptocurrency as a whole) and AI are overhyped - and in the same ways and by a lot of the same shitty people - but cryptocurrency's core product line is a lot more useless than AI's.
I mean, crypto supporters have been saying for almost twenty years (sigh) that Bitcoin and its successors are disruptive technology, that it's too early to see what they can really do, that Bitcoin is going to change the world someday... LLMs, for all their sins, went from zero to integrated into half the devices on Earth and half of private sector employees' workflows in less than four years. Looking at an actual disruptive technology really brings into focus the complete bullshit of cryptocurrency hype.
That's my feeling too. I do pray every day that the house of cards crumbles, but the tech is really something.
