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.

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

When blockchain was the new hot snakeoil, sure there was the annoying guy at work that would try to buttonhole you and try to get you to invest your life savings in Skibidicoin or whatever, but you could tell them to fuck off and it wouldn't really be an issue. But there's no way you can just not participate in the whole "generative AI" thing.

It's not an offensive sort of vocal hatred. It's a defensive sort of vocal hatred. If people (and yes, my employer is one of the worse offenders) would quit nonconsentually forcing AI on me, I'd opt out. But as it is, my only option is to take it and then go vent on Lemmy.

Ok so it is sort of the fact that it's everywhere and pushed hard?

Maybe 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

Almost like a worse Nickelback effect or something
