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.

The article misses the whole point of how LLMs are ruining Microslop. It just focuses on how "Copilot" has a confusing naming scheme. Yeah no, that's not the inherent problem.

Yeah it's really missing the point on every single topic. Customers are confused that Microslop renames everything to Copilot, like MS Office 365 being rebranded to Copilot 365. It's not only the confusion between different types of LLMs. Customers are frustrated that MS puts Copilot buttons into every nook and cranny of existing products making these hard to use.

The author even manages to botch the last point: internal adoption of LLMs at MS. The amount of bugs and quality issues in recent Windows 11 updates suggest that forced LLM use at the company itself has a detrimental effect on their products.

Edit: Forgot a couple of reasons that aren't mentioned either: Customers are frustrated that Copilot doesn't live up to its lofty promises. Customers are frustrated that careless implementations of AI features like Recall are threatening their privacy and safety.

Copilot in Notepad is just stupid. It shows MS has no clue how people want to use AI.

AI to cleanup a damaged photo 👍.

AI to Solve protein folding 👍👍.

I like how the robot preacher is sweating to represent both the heat produced by AI's wasteful energy use, and the water used to cool it.

(I know that probably wasn't even intended, but I like it anyway)

Sometimes the GIFs just fit too well, I guess.
