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.

Oh yeah, for sure. I haven't heard about that, but I haven't been everywhere. ;) The funny thing is, we get emails about Copilot, like they don't know we can't even use it. I think they just don't care โ€” or they're covering their arses, and I guess work from home applies.

Whenever they ask me about doing stuff at home, I tell them I don't have a PC. They say I'm bullshitting because they know I'm a nerd. I say I have a Mac. Which is technically a PC but it doesn't run the same software. Then I make up shit about it being better. It's not. I mean, Apple Intelligence is the derpy AI that Apple just has to say they have one, but I mean, your computer is mostly what you do with it and trust me, I can do all the shit we do at work, on my Mac. I just act like I can't because they don't know the difference.

I'd almost love it if my employer paid for AI and wanted us to use it. I wouldn't do it. At least I wouldn't go out of my way to do it. I don't like Microslop, but I happily use Windows and Word and Outlook and sometimes Excel at work because I like having my bills paid. So if my job required AI, I would use it. Fortunately, I haven't had to make that choice yet.
