"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.

I see very little hauling, TONS of trucks in the city, and trucks parked at people's office job. It's kind of painfully obvious.
I thought today was the day somebody might have an ounce of data instead of regurgitating retarded observations with biases and not a metric in sight. Not today I guess.
it is literally evident by looking at people all around you my mom who never hauled anything had one come on its painful.

Bingo
Unpublished leading with the same mutually non exclusive question, no methodology, and no published stats.
Bravo for bringing this full circle exactly back to where I stated it would lead us. I honestly couldn't have done it better. But you really played your part. You went and googled what you wanted to find and linked a secondary source without reading a damn thing or caring what you linked to. πππππ bravo.

The study itself is sadly proprietary but it is in line with what you can see all around you on your commute and in your works parking lot. Commuters commuting in their truck.
Naw, I can look out my window and seeing trucks well used all day. Thank you again for proving my point so well. Accidentally linking back to the report I initially bitched at then hand waving it away with personal stories is π¨βπ³π
Do you have any contrary evidence that is non proprietary all I could find were proprietary reports and reporting on them that agreed with me. On the other side of the coin is you yelling angrily which is... not an argument
LOOK OUT THE WINDOW, IT'S OBVIOUS!
Pointing to studies even proprietary one with analysis written by firms isn't nothing although its vastly inferior to open research we can review. I just noted that these actual studies seem to comport with what I observed all around me. You have posted no useful refutation no data no anything
