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.

I'm developing a personal project and I often use chat only AI customized to give me short answers, some times just to throw some ideas that then I'll search on the web later. Other times to help me troubleshoot problems, NEVER to write code.

I don't use it to write neither index my code base, it's just arbitrary questions when needed.

I use it in a consulting basis maybe 20 prompts a day, 3-4 days a week. I'm on process of learning a new language and framework so the more I learn the less I use it. I've read books already and saw a few tutorial videos, but for real life projects things are way different and to troubleshoot some issues you need a more complex guidance that consider contexts that most of the time a simple search on the internet won't help.

If the project goes well, I plan to add an AI note on my project explaining how it was used, I wonder how people feel about it, especially the anti-AI people. I'll also block any AI code-generation contribution, since I'm not using any as well, and I don't accept it in any way, I think every AI code (if used) need to pass through an human mind to be analyzed and be taken the best decision about it.

I'm using open-source models for that (Qwen).

Eh. Not great for various reasons I’m sure others will state in full.

I find AI consultation gets… stale after a while if that makes sense? Admittedly it did at least help me articulate my questions faster when I was having trouble finding my words in the initial phase of learning something but beyond that it felt lacking. Stagnant even.

Ultimately I felt I got more out of poking my head around in various places and talking to people. They’re harder to interface with at times sure but more helpful overall. I felt engaged and had better ideas after a human-to-human discussion.

Having transparency with AI usage sounds like a good idea though.
