"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.

Yes, but how much of the training data is synthetic data? Because I expect this startup has no idea. Microsoft uses ML to crawl files on OneDrive to build aggregate models of document types, then use that for LLM training.
It's just all slop all the way down, huh? Just a fuzzy picture of a fuzzy picture hit with the "sharpen" filter 20 times?
