"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.

Not just jobs, but:

  • Scammers that make convincing fakes
  • Knock-offs that get your views before you realize that it's hollow slop instead of what you were expecting for
  • Flooding the field of creative content with hollow stuff devoid of actual creative intent, mistaking verbosity and detail for quality creative content.
  • Exploiting small communities that either let big tech walk over them in general, or they just have to bribe a few city managers at pretty modest prices.

I suppose the scammers are about the only arguably common downside between the AI boom and the dot-com boom, but it was at the time less compelling because it was such an 'alien' medium that people weren't trusted, whereas AI is corrupting a familiar medium with even more scam than people are used to.
