"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.

Took me a few reads to see the problem, lol.
Yeah, it's definitely part of the class of trick questions meant to catch people giving rote answers to partially read questions. I imagine that a lot of our routine conversations are just practiced call-and-response habits, and that's why genAI can seem 'real.' But it can't switch modes and do actual attentive listening and thinking, because call-and-response is all it has - a much larger library than any human, but in the end, everything it says is some average of things that have been said before.
Yeah I wouldn't even be mad at ai for that, I also got it wrong
Isn't the point of AI to make up for our own shortcomings? If you can excuse it for not understanding something because you don't even understand it, why does the AI exist at all?
