"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.

MODERATORS
Holy shit, the mods made a poll of whether members want the chatbot to be in its own channel or everywhere in the server, they voted "please just keep it in its own channel", and this guy said, and I quote: "the mob doesn’t get to rule." Wow.
Also, as usual with these guys, there isn't a "no integration" option, just "limited" or "free roam"... Not that it matters bc he'd disregard the results of the poll anyway lmao.
and the LLM itself generated text that agreed with the voters
No it didn't.
The AI is not agreeing or thinking, it is just outputting words.
Not trying to harsh you but language is important.
Yeah.
Normally I prefer to let “language shortcuts” like this slide, but LLMs are getting way too anthropomorphized amongst the public. See: the headline. So it kinda needs to be qualified.
clarified :) i agree fully
I listened to the podcast about this one. Apparently when everyone said to keep it out, he insisted that it was sentient and that it would literally hurt it's feelings, so he couldn't.
