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.

It is great at search. See this awesome example I hit just today from Google's AI overview:

Housing prices in the United States dropped significantly between 2007 and 2020 due to the housing bubble and the Great Recession:

2007: The median sales price for a home in the first quarter of 2007 was $257,400. The average price of a new home in September 2007 was $240,300.

2020: The average sales price for a new home in 2020 was $391,900.

See, without AI I would have thought housing prices went up between 2007, and that $391,900 was a bigger number than $257,400.
