Most of my hatred for it (if you can call it that) has to do with putting AI in everything. Blockchain makes sense in certain instances. I wouldn't say for money, but for information tracking etc. AI LLM's make sense in certain instances. But it's everywhere and it's taking the place of tech I use daily but doing a worse job overall by a wide enough margin that I just can't stand it. And I don't understand why companies want to put it in everything except that they don't want to be the only ones not shilling it.
There are always people who come out of the woodwork to claim it works for them but half of them don't even have a good understanding of how or why it works for them, and a lot of them are just lazy. I look at AI as a bandaid type tech in most of its applications right now and I'm tired of fighting to opt out of it.
It’s just corporations being shitty and cultish, no different than usual.
The sad thing in LLMs can be quite cool with the right implementations (like structured output to force correct syntax, complex grounding, and so on) but the sea of garbage floods any possibility of that.
