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.

Rules:

Relevant posts only.
No bigotry.
This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
Especially no AI advocacy.
Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

I'm so sick of having to create more and more convincingly nuanced arguments to convince the thickest people that the most obvious shit is a problem. Can't we just start beating them?

I’m totally with you. But I think that’s where we are. As I see it at the moment the big points are

“safety”, which is a lot like climate change (yay),
power and wealth concentration, which I’m surprised I don’t hear more about
enslavement of potentially conscious creatures (again more of a future problem thing but a serious one)
a human and even spiritual urge to not reduce ourselves to mere operators of machines, which is a pretty basic matter of taste but which gets Amish pretty quickly.

These are all big “what is life about” issues that are just hard to get penetration on. Only the second is material right now. Maybe it’s an issue with today’s society that we’ve forgotten how to talk about these sorts of things. But maybe we’re just wired to jump off of these sorts of cliffs. I don’t know.

I honestly don’t thing this will be the end of humanity. It could be, but I’d bet on some weird future first. Could it be better. Yea. But again, we’re a funny bunch.
