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.

that AI is to be boycotted

I don't think the AI part is the relevant bit here.

I think the message should be that trusting your data to off-site storage where it is subject to third-party moderation should be boycotted. So boycott Google Drive, One Drive, icloud and keep your data on your own computers.

Yes, the important part is that data was lost. How was it lost? Um... magic, probably. W-we don't need to look at the details.

How was it lost?

Because you put it in the hands of a third party who is not accountable to you, and gave them full control over it. Whether they exercise that control via AI or a human is rather irrelevant here. There are plenty of documented cases of people losing their account in pre-AI times due to human moderation.

It is relevant, because the AI did a stupid.
