"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.

That's not how fads work, however.
The Degenerative AI craze started because barely-capable software was hyped as the Next Big Thing and then failed to deliver. This has happened before in AI. At least twice. The old failed technologies still exist. They're vastly improved over the versions that caused their "winters" (as their utter failure was termed). Nobody has rallied back to them. The same will happen with Degenerative AI.
I can tell you as a Web designer, that even now it's crazy useful. It will only take a bit to take it over the edge to be revolutionary. And no one will be able to ignore it. Not even the brands that are riding the Anti wave now.
Guess which part of the hype curve you're on?
In on the part of the curve where im saving time because I'm using it.
Right. "The Peak of Inflated Expectations" then.
I'll wave when you wind up in "The Trough of Disillusionment".
You are making things up, attacking a straw man . Why?
You're so caught up in the hype curve you can't see it.
Yet.
Let's talk next year when the sheen has worn off and you've seen the damage wrought by the technology you're currently gung ho about.
That is your straw man. And you keep attacking it...
Its kind of silly.
We'll talk in a year.
Until then, go ahead and be like the cryptobros of a few years back.
More strawmen.
I think your should stop believing in flat earth! That is such a stupid belief! You are stupid for believing it.
If you know the limitations and what you want from it, it's a good tool. Cramming it into everything you can and pretending it's revolutionary and not a steaming pile of shit is the trend, though. It's basically the new blockchain: a solution in search of a problem.
As it is right now I agree. Except for the crypto part. Crypto I think is even more specific - as the solution in search of the problem. Ai already is capable to replace some existing problems. Cramming it into everything is more like . com than crypto I think. There is potential there. There is. It just seems stupid at this point.
