"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

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.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

New Poll Finds That Americans Loathe AI (futurism.com)

A new poll by the Pew Research Center has found that Americans are getting extremely fed up with artificial intelligence in their daily lives.

A whopping 53 percent of just over 5,000 US adults polled in June think that AI will "worsen people’s ability to think creatively." Fifty percent say AI will deteriorate our ability to form meaningful relationships, while only five percent believe the reverse.

While 29 percent of respondents said they believe AI will make people better problem-solvers, 38 percent said it could worsen our ability to solve problems.

The poll highlights a growing distrust and disillusionment with AI. Average Americans are concerned about how AI tools could stifle human creativity, as the industry continues to celebrate the automation of human labor as a cost-cutting measure.

Metaverse and VR such a colossal failure it's not even remembered as bullshit they were trying to sell us.

I have a soft spot for VR, it's awesome as something to mess around with for a couple hours here and there and for Flight Sim/Elite Dangerous it's unmatched, but it's an extremely expensive hobby at best and was never going to penetrate normal people's day-to-day lives

I could see that. I have a few projects I'd love to explore in VR, but I'm glad giving Zuck access to our pupil dilation data never took off. I wonder if VR would be better off if oculus stayed independent. Sure it got a lot of funding and dev, but that happening under meta's control really lost its appeal-- for me anyways. I still hope open source projects like simulavr will take off one day.
