"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.

Just his voice, though? Ressurect him entirely! we want to see something!1!11!! And while at it, maybe a few other dead actors as well. They could all play some character in the movie. And we got some really good authors and storywriters who are dead. Maybe let AI cook up the story in their beloved style... And if it works out great, why not do all the visuals and effects this way, too?
And I never got why they do re-runs on TV. Why not delete the old episodes and let people watch AI Columbo investigate in the slop-70s? That'd be great. Go, Nextflix! We're all counting on you.
