"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.

Can't trust anything their shitty AI comes up with anyway. I've seen drug addicts who hallucinated less.

Of course they will say that. They gotta get that $$$.

I control ads for a large company. The last two years have been fucking brutal. We're talking 30-90% worse, ROI's.

Of course AI search isn’t killing website traffic. AI search is website traffic.

I know the word has a different meaning in a different context but I guess you only get add revenue for human traffic

Either AI is an effective summarization tool with good information, OR direct human click traffic to websites are unaffected, you can't have it both ways, this statistic, if it really isn't going down, means the AI is failing at being a summarization tool.
