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.

If we take the forum title here, the "fuck" is directed at the people in charge of so-called "AI" companies. The technology has value. It's just being forcefed down our throats in ways that remind us of block chain and whatever happened to block chain?!
The tech with the most push behind it is being pushed in infancy, and is damn near useless without datasets of entirely stolen content.
There's genuinely useful things and impressive tech under the machine learning umbrella. This "AI" boom is just hard pushing garbage.
This past week we saw the most obvious example yet of why they're pushing LLMs so far too, Grok's unprompted white supremacist ramblings over on twitter. These tools can easily be injected with biases like that (and much more subtly too) to turn them into a giant propaganda machine.
Some of the tech is genuinely useful and impressive, but the stuff getting the biggest pushes is nothing but garbage, and the companies behind it all are vile.
Well scammers destroyed its reputation and governments refused to use the tech BC it would expose corruption.
Make no mistake when the next reshuffle happens, it will the bedrock of all of systems esp government and finance.
People in power are not interested in such transparency currently
