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.

It's interesting to hear about AI not passing the bar, but otherwise I don't think the opinion piece is a good take. Complaining that AI isn't smart enough or pointing out it can't take people's jobs yet doesn't mean it won't get smarter. And pointing out other technologies that didn't develop doesn't mean the same thing will happen here. Remember those news stories about the internet being a fad?

I use chatgpt pretty much every day to help with hobbyist coding. It's useful to me right now. I expect with time it will continue to grow in usefulness.

I also expect AI will be a vector for spam, propaganda and surveillance. While I may not believe it's going to become our digital god I do think it's something people are right to talk about, and game out how we as a society want to handle its impact.

I don't know about God, but it can certainly be Satan to me and is hurting artists daily.

This has been covered ad nauseam. The cost and return on investment to continue improving on the current 54% failure, is exponential. We now have multiple papers that are stating this is as good as it gets. We have nothing to the contrary to suggest your anthropomorphism is remotely accurate.
