    Breaking news, trash tech no one wanted or asked for being shoved down everyone’s throats is trash.

      It’s not trash. It’s just not the “replace every worker in every industry” hype bullshit that psychopathic CEOs are peddling to their rich friends every chance they get.

      I use LLMs just about every day. They are useful tools that save time, if you know how to use them right, employ proper review, and verify important information. It is not a wizard, and it will not replace a functioning brain.

      The Gartner hype cycle doesn’t crash to zero. It stabilizes. I think people have been too conditioned by actual garbage technologies like NFTs, blockchain, and to some extent, crypto. And true driverless cars have such a high barrier to entry that it’s difficult to reach any sort of “good enough” point with them without another few decades of innovation, so people ignore that tech, too. Nowadays, people are so conditioned to expect every new tech to just disappear after the hype cycle and life just continues as normal.

      But, that’s not how this works.

        Sounds like an awful lot of work to get the hallucinating, environment destroying, billionaire enriching, Hitler praising slop machine to work right. We’re all better off binning the trash.

          This is a very reductive and ignorant take. Media promotes the edge cases and makes fun of them. Meanwhile, people are using this shit all the time without incident.

          Not going to happen. You’d have a better chance of all of social media suddenly disappearing overnight.

        I agree, it makes a good alternative to a quick web search, at least for many cases. It’s not like search engines surface completely accurate information either, gotta verify and use common sense either way
