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.

Why does it seem like the people who understand the least about AI and LLMs are the ones pushing it the hardest? Fuck the management class and fuck AI enshittification too.
They hope to make office staff redundant by replacing them with ai. The managers/consultants that are now pushing for LLM to replace office staff, are the same people that pushed for outsourcing office work to underpaid staff in low wage countries (and the companies that tried that, invariably got what they paid for). With both the resulting quality of work is far worse, but on paper it will save the company money. And if their customers are trapped in the short to middle term as is often the case with software companies, then the worse service won't even immediately affect the bottom line and the boss will have ample opportunity to jump ship to another cushy position before the bottom line does take a dive.
Be cause those of us who understand it, also understand how limited the actual uses are.
I think it has value as a fairly nice search engine. But not much else.
I've had good luck with zooms ai for taking notes. That's about it
Spits out 500 line Powershell scripts, entire iOS apps in a single prompt... I realize what community this is but come on now
edit: You sound ignorant as hell when you can't even correctly define the thing you hate. But OK, have fun with that.
