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.

LinkedIn is kind of the bad place, but I'm on there a lot looking for work. I happened to see an informal poll asking if people would go back to a world before AI. I fully expected LinkedIn to be gushing over how great AI is, but (with an admittedly tiny sample size) it's not so hot.

  • 59% absolutely want to go back
  • 14% say AI is the future
  • 22% say they're excited but concerned
  • 2% are undecided, somehow.

This made me feel a little better, somehow.

"say they’re excited but concerned"

Excited but concerned about returning to a world without AI or excited but concerned with AI but want AI?

Huh. I read that choice as meaning "I am excited about heading into the future with AI, but I'm concerned it might end badly", but on rereading the actual question I see that's a weird answer for it.

Basically the other options are "AI good", "AI bad", and "I dunno". I took the remaining option to cover either "AI both good and bad" or "AI neutral".
