"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.

It's evil, full stop. Either it's a series of expensive, environmentally destructive parlor tricks designed to create a false impression of intelligence and inner life in order to enable the economic displacement of our fellow humans in an already wildly economically stratified world or, worse, it's an attempt to create and then enslave an actual intelligence with an actual inner life.
Fuck every fucking thing about that and fuck everybody working toward it, including OP. You're doing evil shit in the world and you don't understand why people don't like it. You're confused and upset that people actually do have morals and beliefs that haven't been buried under the strain of modern life. You want to steal from others, degrade their daily life, enable systems of coercion and control, then have people treat you nicely because you think you're special and clever and you deserve to be rewarded because you figured out what the next big thing is ahead of the herd. You're not, you don't, and you haven't.
In top of all of that, it just sucks. When it isn't making up bullshit, it's producing the most boring, milquetoast nonsense imaginable. On the bright side it may be wrecking the economy shortly.
So please, do yourself and all of us a favor- find something useful and fulfilling to do with your life and stop building the torment nexus. You get one short ride on this rock, don't waste it making your life and the lives of others worse.
Damn, well said. I got nothing to add...
Is neuroscience evil? How do you think humans understand more about the brain without the same knowledge? You can't get there from proteins and biology and equations, at some point you have to start simulating large distributed systems of computation and learning.
Also I do understand a list of points of why it's not liked as some posts have listed, just wondering if someone has insight onto why the hate seems to stick greater than the sum of those lists.
I'm sure you realize that most of what you say about morals is widely applicable to most technological revolutions that we accept. What is special about "AI" or is it an alignment point to signal things?
