"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.

You are correct. There are sweatshop workers in india who do something similar to this.
I'm in America and I'd do it. Being unemployed is hell.
If you did 80 hours a week and tools couple weeks off a year, you could make a cool $12,000 before taxes.
I mean, I too am unemployed currently, and I’d be more than happy to just do something like this every time I clean anyway, if that was a possibility. That’d be two-ish hours a day, and while not very much per week, less than 15 hours, that’s still some 45€ or so more per week I’d make otherwise, while not doing anything extra, just the same things I would’ve done anyway.
But this is something that gives pittance to betray working class as a whole long term, since it’d feed the machines taking away even the menial mechanical jobs at least I thought would be safe.
So I for one am not doing this or equivalent work, even if I can fully see why it’d be even life changing potentially. For some, me included, that’s money that crosses the threshold of getting to buy new shoes for the kid instead of having them get wet feet with worn and torn ones months longer than you’d want just to save up..
Where do I sign up???
