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.

What blows my mind about all this AI shit is that these bots are “programmed” by just telling them what to do. “You are an employee working at McDonald’s” and they take it from there.
Insanity.
Yeah, all the control systems are in-band, making them impossible to control. Users can just modify them as part of the normal conversation. It's like they didn't learn anything from phone phreaking.
You have to admit, the fact that even almost works is fucking witchcraft.
I still wouldn't rely on it. It's just mindboggling the plain English is now enough to make a robot do a half-assed job of nearly anything.
