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.

Sooooo AI is replacing my boss, is basically what this getting at, right?

I know we are all like fuck AI and stuff, but please do continue. Is this going to involve setting goals for the year? Am I going to have to complete a self evaluation? Am I getting a raise? What happens if I tell the AI to fuck off, is it going to unalive me? I mean anytime I ask AI to tell me something, I get like 90 pages of drivel and it won't do what I want it to, so basically that's just pretty much my boss in a nutshell, no?

In theory, AI could at least be made to be projected as a knockout, while it pours out its nonsense. Versus my boss, who looks like a can of stuffed assholes, and also always pours out a bunch of nonsense while we all look away in abject horror lest we make eye contact.

I'm starting to wrap my mind around this idea a bit guys, I'm not going to lie...

Working underpaid menial physical tasks for an unfeeling entity that seeks maximum profit for itself, doesn't care in any way, shape or form about the well-being of people or their safety and often makes unbelievably stupid mistakes without ever facing consequences or even learning from them?

We're doing that already. It's called working for a corporation.

And it’s what’s happening here too. AI is just corporate control and monopolisation with new tricks.

...so this is basically admission that the manager class is ripe for automation?

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 5 points 14 hours ago

That's the biggest joke and irony of this all! All these greedy execs, going AI AI AI AI AI AI, I mean if they had a braincell to share amongst the lot of them, maybe they'd realize sometime soon. That you can't replace mechanical input or physical labour, but you sure as shit can replace some blowhard in an office somewhere, who otherwise adds nothing to the equation but bullshit.

I see this so easily cheatable, how the hell can language model verify that you have done the task. It is basically a oxymoron. You just reply instantly that task has been done, and collect the money.

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 5 points 14 hours ago

Right!? I'm really starting to like the sounds of this. Did you hear that story about the vending machine one of those techbro companies had with AI, where everyone started to fool it and it was ordering PlayStations for them and stuff? Like this all makes AI sound like it's fucking awesome. Completely hopeless and fucking awesome all at the same time!!

With how open AI agents are to suggestion, it might be possible to make good money if it's possible to negotiate

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hmmm. Its early enough on, how easy would it be to convince an AI to pay them a ridiculous amount of money, and then just vanish?

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Why vanish, if the agreement is in writing, and even so no contract between anybody have been broken?

This reminds me of a thought experiment where a super human level AI who runs everything is itself actually run by humans. The humans just have a regular job, they wake up, do their human morning things and get to work. There they do stuff, maybe on a computer or maybe with paper or something, this doesn't really matter. As long as the work is mysterious and important. Every day they do pretty much the exact same thing, just like most jobs. Then at the end of the day they go home and live a regular normal life. The idea is what these humans do is how the machine AI actually works or "thinks". The humans don't know what exactly they are doing, as each task is only a very small part of a greater whole. So they don't control it or influence it exactly. The work is done by enough people to make the AI smart and fast enough to be useful. The AI needs the humans to work and in turn the AI runs everything for the humans, so they need each other.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

this looks too dumb to be real

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 3 points 14 hours ago

I don't know if you've been under a rock for the past little while, but this AI shit is all starting to get pretty dumb. Like really dumb. A lot of people have to suddenly answer for why they've collectively burned billions of dollars, with not a whole lot of actuality to show for it.
