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.

Why do you hate AI? (lemmy.world)

I work in the AI world and understand a lot of reasons to hate AI (like how every company is trying to ram it down people's throats). However I am genuinely curious why the hate is so popular, and what arguments/opinions people have, and would like to hear the discussion.

Even advertising, which is forced on everyone and disliked, doesn't seem to get as vocal a response for hate.

Why do you hate AI? Why do you think the hate is so vocal/common/strong?

After reading comments:

I am thinking it's simply:

  1. Have aspects that people can strongly dislike eg the points people list.

  2. Be forced into everyone's life and media constantly.

Like a similar psychological phenomenon to when Nickelback was hated, but magnified by being more serious and grounded.

I think that we should also be careful with where the hate is directed, since modelling learning of distributed systems at scale is very essential science and technology to be able to understand biology, physics, neuroscience, etc. The only way humanity currently scales new technologies unfortunately is through the capital machine, and the scale is a necessary component of this science.

My biggest issue is the infiltration of AI in the arts. I don't like being played for a fool and that's what AI art does. It's like I'm being tricked or lied to. I find it insulting.

You put this better than I could. I hate it when I get that tiny rush of "oh that's cool" whenever I see/hear/experience something before realizing it's completely bullshit.

"Oh shit, Shaboozey did a collab with Eminem? Gotta hear that. This is so coo-... fake. It's fucking fake. Fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Every time, it feels like it "pollutes" or "taints" my brain. I don't want that shit in there. For a similar reason to why I immediately go and look up a news story I see somewhere random on Snopes if it seems a little too perfect.

This exactly. I am thinking of blocking YT shorts, even if some of the information might be useful, cause there's just a lot of AI slop, though not as much as there used to be. if before I was distasteful of AI slop, I watched this documentary from DW on it, where they showcased the slop that AI could produce, which was kind of eye opening to me. it increased my distaste for it more, it clearly showcased the soullessness of it.

People said the same thing about photography.

Yea, but it was/is something that is made with skill and intent. AI doesn't have skill or intent. It was not hand crafted.
