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.

I have ADHD and I have to ask A LOT of questions to get my brain around concepts sometimes, often cause I need to understand fringe cases before it "clicks", AI has been so fucking helpful to be able to just copy a line from a textbook and say "I'm not sure what they meen by this, can you clarify" or "it says this, but also this, aren't these two conflicting?" and having it explain has been a game changer for me. I still have to be sure to have my bullshit radar on, but thats solved by actually reading to understand and not just taking the answer as is. In fact, scrutinizing the answer against what I've learned and asking further questions has felt like its made me more engaged with the material.
Most issues with AI are issues with capitalism.
Congratulations to the person who downvoted this
They use a tool to improve their life?! Screw them!
Here’s hoping over the next few years we see little baby-sized language models running on laptops entirely devour the big tech AI companies, and that those models are not only open source but ethically trained. I think that will change this community here.
I get why they’re absolutist (AI sucks for many humans today) but above your post as well you see so much drive-by downvoting, which will obviously chill discussion.
