"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.

Its dangerous to our future, our ecosystem and our way of life even if the stupid things can't think.
I agree that the amount of water and electricity these AI centers gobble up is a concern. But I don't know what you mean by our way of life. Personally I think it's very useful when judiciously used. It's dangerous if NASA haphazardly tosses AI generated code into the OS for a rocket going on a moon mission. But to quickly generate a meme or YT thumbnail is harmless.
Companies are the ones that will be using it the most, and they won't limit themselves. As the technology improves humans will be thrown out of creative fields or turned from creators to middle managers. Human expression has been innately human for all of history until now, that is what is threatened. We will no longer connect with each other through art. This productivity cult kills all, what are we even being productive for, what is the end goal?
