alt Hacker NewsThis. Convincing a bullshit generator to give you the right data isn’t engineering, it quackery. But I guess “context quackery” wouldn’t sell as much.
LLMs are quite useful and I leverage them all the time. But I can’t stand these AI yappers saying the same shit over and over again in every media format and trying to sell AI usage as some kind of profound wizardry when it’s not.

That's the definition of a hype cycle. Can't wait for tech to be past it.
It is total quackery. When you zoom out in these discussions you begin to see how the AI yappers and their methodology is just modern-day alchemy with its own jargon and "esoteric" techniques.
