"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.

Elementary OS fits the bill, it has a low barrier of entry for you, they won't use AI personally. However, the problem with how AI is that it is also being used to write changes to the Linux Kernel, and those changes aren't being flagged anymore (because Linus lost his goddamn mind). So it will be harder to escape the influence of AI through just a distro change.
At least, Elementary OS can promise that anything they made is going to be hand coded and not sloppy AF. They are a good one to put money towards and support, easy breezy to use and their community is friendly!
Thx for the recommendation! I'll def think about supporting them.
You're welcome! I hope you enjoy Elementary OS, as the team are good eggs. They do their best.
Yeah, the guy who invented Linux and has maintained the kernel for 35-years is too stupid to review AI changes. 🙄
I get the AI hate, I really do, but some y'all over the top. This whole post is silly, like a distro with AI assisted code is going to give OP the cooties.
Henny, listen, this man did one of the first LLM-assisted patch series on the Kernel. It went bad...Instead of fixing it himself, he dumped that shit on another maintainer and went on vacation. Can you see why I might be a man of little faith? Like, the LLM psychosis is getting him too, it is time he is either retired by force or willingly. His presence is going to do more harm.
He is far from the only person to get AI psychosis.
