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.

The underlying technology has its uses

Yes indeed agreed.

Sometimes BS is exactly what I need! Like, hallucinated brainstorm suggestions can work for some workflows and be safe when one is careful to discard or correct them. Copying a comment I made a week ago:

I don’t love it for summarization. If I read a summary, my takeaway may be inaccurate.

Brainstorming is incredible. And revision suggestions. And drafting tedious responses, reformatting, parsing.

In all cases, nothing gets attributed to me unless I read every word and am in a position to verify the output. And I internalize nothing directly, besides philosophy or something. Sure can be an amazing starting point especially compared to a blank page.
