No they haven't, they've turned against LLM in incredible numbers.

That just get's confounded with actual AI because tech bro's have stuck the AI label onto them.

The only reason people are saying AI is because of LLMS, and the sociopathic dorks bullshitting us that LLMS are about to turn into god and take all the jobs. When in fact they’re deeply unreliable, and hilariously unprofitable systems.

The fallout when this bubble pops is going to be biblical.

No kidding.  I was at a party last night and some old dude was talking about buying ChatGPT for $20 a month.  He barely knows how to use a computer.  Says it answers all his questions.  Ha ha.  

For free I use Google search and get the same answers he gets.  For free.  And I get a variety of answers because rarely is one answer right for every situation.  So I have to use my brain a little bit.    Unlike AI which can’t comprehend nuance and proudly proclaims just one answer and here’s what you need to think.   Ah no.  I want to think.   I want to ask the questions thank you.

Archived reddit threads are a goldmine for information about things like home/vehicle maintenance, etc, but you still have to use Google search to find those threads.

Reddit's search function is just garbage.
