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.

McDonald's briefly had an AI run their drive thru. Apparently it got a lot of complaints, but honestly it massively improved my local McDonald's order accuracy and speed. It was significantly better than the extremely shitty employees they normally have working the line.
Underpaid and mistreated employees don't make for employees that go above and beyond.
