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.

The research, commissioned by nonprofits including Beyond Fossil Fuels and Climate Action Against Disinformation, did not find a single example where popular tools such as Google’s Gemini or Microsoft’s Copilot were leading to a “material, verifiable, and substantial” reduction in planet-heating emissions.

Ketan Joshi, an energy analyst and author of the report, said the industry’s tactics were “diversionary” and relied on tried and tested methods that amount to “greenwashing”.

We already know the solution to climate change, we just aren't willing to accept it. Having an AI tell us the solution won't change anything. If they expect the AI to have a solution within this system that only works with infinite growth, good luck with that. Even if AI is all that they want it to be, it isn't magic, it can't figure out solutions that simply don't exist.

But as it stands AI is mostly marketing hype and nowhere near capable of the things they claim.

Yeah, this is the thing I've never understood about the "AI will fix climate change" BS. Like, what, the AI owned by billionaires is gonna say "Step one, get rid of capitalism" and the billionaires are gonna be like "Well if the AI said it..."?

Literally all it can do is tell us what we already know.
