LinkedIn, 24/7 of pure AI chat

Some of the people on there are real as well despite being nearly indistinguishable from LLM excrement.

I never used it but a couple of my colleagues do and show me some of the stuff in there.

Talk to founders and builders. I happen to be building automation for drones, which has a smaller intersection to the LLM space.

I am not. It reinforces my belief that this phase of bullshit will wear off one day which I can’t bloody wait for.

AI has its use, but the ecosystem is filled with scammers selling snake oil and a few people who are fed up but completely overreacting like this blogger.

I guess giving a fair assessment covering both pros and cons neither generate clicks nor money these days.

Correct. LLMs are the problem not AI as a whole. They are a universal hammer made of shit.

Unfortunately because nobody decided to code some proper consent into it you're forced to listen to people bitch they didn't want it in the first place. "Maybe later" it'll stop, but "Not now".
