"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.

I believe the implication is that all humans at the company have been laid off. And PageRank was not neural network to my knowledge but I also don't work at Google so I won't say it's impossible that they have been lying about that for some reason. At some point they started adding adverts and sorting results using a neural network, which one could argue likely works similar to the input of an LLM.
The implication of the second is however that the content of the pages displayed as search results are being summarized by AI while incorporating advertising, making it impossible to separate the advert from the rest.
Oh sure the rest of the panels make sense but the second one is LLM ai vs traditional ai.
AI is more than neural net code. Chess programs used to be AI in the 1960's. Pagerank and the code around it automated away Yahoo's human curated lists.
