"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.

Damn. I'd actually enjoyed the fact that Jira, et al hadn't received the "sprinkle AI over shit" treatment.
It has had AI tools built in to it for months, they call it Rovo.
Ah, that sucks. I guess we're still running an older version and just hadn't seen it.
Rovo -- like all other hastily-named, great-value-branded versions of Siri -- is basically completely useless.
