"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.

Ah yes, just consult the misinformation vortex anytime you need the answer to anything.
It amazes me that you all loathe AI search but will happily deal with regular search which always has given you garbage. AI search just makes it easier to start checking sources and going through larger amounts of material.
It's because AI gives you complete bollocks which looks like a correct answer complete with made-up sources.
One gives you shit, the other gives you shit that looks like tasty food.
Plus normal search is not creating the biggest financial bubble in modern history while destroying the environment
Remember back when you could buy RAM? Those were good times.
I hope thats the worst of the problems from this massive bubble.
Which is why you click on the links, read and verify. This just provides organization and context to verify and to dig in to vs a list and summary. You have to validate and read either way. LLM/RAGs just provide tools on top.
Yeah, so essentially just doing a regular google search but with more unnecessary steps starting with a dogshit chat bot.
Skull issue. Sorry.
Using chat bots to search instead of doing it yourself is indeed a skill issue, yes.
Regular search wasn't always garbage. We used to be able to use symbols to refine our searches and would be able to find exactly what we are looking for within seconds. Random part number for a specific model? Random debug issue? Fuckin weird-ass error on the software?
Now days you can search for a string which you fuckin know exists and it's like, "there's nothing on the web for that." absolute fuckin lies. The shit is still indexed somewhere.
It's crazy how Google got so much worse. More ads, worse results, and the text copy is even buggy now
That's a feature, not a bug. The goal is to push you to use ai
AI "search". Give me a fucking break.

It makes up sources all the time. And when it does give a legitimate source, it makes up a quote or hallucinates nonexistent detail from it. Use your brain, not AI.
AI search is only useful because of crippled search engines prioritizing making money over usefulness
