"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.

Stop calling it AI. It’s not an intelligence.
Well, artificial leather is not actually leather. You just need to draw a little string from "artificial" to "fake".
plintelligence kind of rolls off the tongue but not really
AI as a term is constantly changing when it comes to what we actually consider to be meeting its criteria. When chess playing bots were starting to get really good in the 90s for example, people commonly considered that the pinnacle of AI until they got used to it and started to dissociate from that. Rinse and repeat with LLMs today.
Besides, AI is a field, not necessarily a technology, and the capabilities a computer requires for it to be considered “intelligent” aren’t even remotely similar to that of a human being. You can consider a computer intelligent without it being necessarily illogical.
The context has changed. It’s destroying neighborhoods, property values, home computing, water, electricity bills, etc on a global scale precisely when we’re running low and prices are too high.
That is in no way comparable to a chess bot.
It's intelligence as in mass surveillance.
