"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 get the feeling that it's mostly people who haven't got an artistic bone in their body.
You can't explain to them why AI art sucks because they don't understand art.
Now all of a sudden they feel empowered because they too can "make art" and they don't have to overcome that mountain of learning, growing, experience,...
And that pisses them off because deep down they do know it's not the same as the real thing. I still get the feeling that AI keeps producing the same things over and over again. "Cute" pixar knockoffs or a sloppy filter placed on top of some shapes.
Same with coding. The slop idiots think they are Very Computer because they prompted broken code with 0 idea how any of it works or how computers work.
Bad coders and bad artists scared of ai taking over the output of slop for them. Good artists and coders don’t care. See what your papa Linux has to say about ai code for example.
Ah, so you must be worried sick about it then, cause you're atrocious at both
Also this is just the fuzziest logic I've ever seen, get the hell out of here
Torvalds going senile is (one more) reason to migrate to BSD, not to praise slop.
The only people praising slop are the people acting like ai invented it.
The problem is that bad coders and artists sometimes become good coders and artists. You're killing off the pipeline by removing their source of income, and eventually you have few -to-no good coders or artists.
“Whereas, in the past, the expense and scarcity of manuscripts had ensured that great care was always taken over the preparation of texts, the ease with which books could now be printed — coupled with the intense competition between presses — had led to all manner of rubbish being churned out. These days, Filippo argued, you could hardly open a volume without it being festooned with errors. This clearly did immense damage both to classical scholarship and to education. By putting such defective texts into the hands of the masses, he claimed, even those who could barely speak the vernacular would feel qualified to teach Latin.”
AI slop is an order of magnitude worse.
Now, all someone needs to do is give a four-sentence prompt, and it can be expanded into a twenty-page essay. It is essentially an attack on human attention... it still takes you twenty minutes to read the essay that only really is about that four-sentence prompt. The information density is intentionally diluted to ridiculous levels.
At least someone had to make the effort to write those cheap texts.
Next we’ll have commoners thinking they can learn Latin, I mean make art without paying a highly qualified team of peasants to do the grunt work for them.
God forbid poor people have access to something. One of them might make something I don’t like! There is no magnitude worse, slop has been slopping for thousands of years. You all just circle jerked yourself into the opposite of ai psychosis.
My dude, you are in the wrong community.
