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 did go on to be in a band that did get signed. Drummer died of an overdose before we got to put out an album. Had a lot of fun on the way up though.

You're missing what I said. Nobody is going to care any more or any less about the art you make than they already do. And for most of you, that means nobody is going to care at all; which is why most artists die poor

People are not going to just stop playing the guitar because AI exists. Local shows and concerts are not going to vanish because AI exists.

That's not what AI does. It's a thing AI can do, because it can do lots of things, but it's value as a technology is not in it's ability to make images or write songs, it's in it's ability to do business. Analyze data. Make reports. Manage business processes. Draft emails, take notes, schedule appointments.

Anthropic is not valued at over a billion dollars because it can generate an image of Will Smith eating Spaghetti.

There's a lot of reasons to dislike AI. It's impact on the environment, it's impact on jobs, the concern of how much control this thing can gain, issues with it going rouge, people using it for bad (like recent hacking groups using it to hack a number of health industry corporations going so far to steal identities and lock people out of medical devices), etc...

Being upset that TikTok has too many bad AI videos of cats dancing just makes you look silly. It leads me to believe you are all children

Yep youre totally right. All in all no one gives a shit about art. I can make a painting just like Jackson Pollock, splash paint out of a can whoopdy doo. Art is a human thing all humans do and so is worthless. Literally anyone can grab a guitar and write a bad song. Its not usable in a capitalistic society and never was.

Yeah ai ruined the internet but web 3.0 had already thrashed it anyways. I'm more worried about mass surveillance and burning the earth.
