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.

Any usage of AI is being complicit with the larger AI project of these billion dollar companies as it further legitimizes their use. So yes fuck this business person in particular I hope the customer sues and he goes bankrupt. This is a literal leopardsatemyface moment, everything about this is completely self inflicted. Maybe this wouldn't have happened if they used their brain and considered not using a lying machine as a replacement for their customer support.
You can go out there and organize, educate, do outreach to actually make a difference, or point a finger and laugh to feel superior. The latter is the same as getting drunk to forget about the world.
I'm sure you've done things out of not knowing any better. How would you feel about a thread like this?
Did you read the article? Your description does not match events. He wasn't trying to replace customer service, it's a small business and he wanted nights off... And your statement that any usage of AI is idiotic. LLMs have existed since the 90s, are you saying any use of any machine learning which falls under that umbrella is "complicit"? Are you only including certain models? Is there a date cutoff from when you consider it a bad AI instead of a good LLM?
Oh look another shithead trying to pin me down by arguing semantics using the old "What even is AI" trick. Fuck you! I don't care about shitty machine learning models from the 90s. I care about unethical companies stealing artists work and reselling it while causing ungodly amounts of pollution. Maybe I should just start banning everyone of you oh so reasonable shitheads. This is FuckAI not lets have a discussion and really get into the details what AI even is.
What an interesting way of admitting your issue isn't with the business owner and you're knowingly just being an asshole in his general direction so you can feed your rage boner.
