"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 think thats fairly reasonable. I have a personal project im working on- an sdl blend of DOS mode13h and the SNES retro engine. Ive used local models for specific issues- converting loaded images to closest palette matches, but for the most part its hand written. Im fairly happy with that middle ground. And im professionally frustrated by vibe coders that dont even check their output(not even code, they dont even check that the changed program works at all before submitting it).
I think the important thing is finding that happy space where you can feel certain that you are the author of the ideas that are being put to text (or code).
I'm not sure what that middle ground looks like but for me its having a really clear separation between the LLM acting as a really good search engine and static analyzer and a human authoring code.
In an ideal world, professionals would have been given LLM's and told "make of this what you will, we have no expectations of output". We did not get that world unfortunately.
