Fuck AI

"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.

Despite the name, the title is not just granted to individuals. Pairs of people such as married couples and political opponents, classes of people, and inanimate objects have all been selected for the special year-end issue.

Wikipedia

Notable past winners include:

  • The computer
  • The endangered Earth
  • The Spirit of Ukraine

It's more of a branding thing I guess. It's not like the "award" is real, it's just "this is what the ruling class likes this year"

Useful information. That said, it's probably a little more dangerous in this case because too many people are personifying LLM behavior. I don't think any people assume The Spirit of Ukraine is a sentient being, for instance.

But I concede that the people pushing AI certainly can be, especially since their influence has ruined so many lives already and is poised to ruin many more, both directly and indirectly.

As you can see in the top right corner the person of the year title applies to the architects of AI.

Capitalist media is pure garbage.
