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.

News nowadays:

  • Highly paid football team coach says: "Football is the greatest game in the World".
[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago

Start with CEO and project manager please!

[–] lemmy_get_my_coat@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

Well, no vested interest there.

[–] unspeakablehorror@thelemmy.club 9 points 6 hours ago

When is media gonna recognize all of the people saying this stuff are AI company CEOs

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 7 points 7 hours ago

Well you know what they say.

“You first”.

Let's start with this Microslop AI chief.

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 16 points 14 hours ago

And I do not say this lightly

HAHAHAHAHA

What a load of shit. Start with your shitty C suit executives

Stop making "AI can replace humans" happen. It's not gonna happen!

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 hour ago

No, no, no!

Keep trying, Microsoft!

Just put a couple more hundreds of billions into it!

Don't trust the naysayers - you're almost there!

fr I've been reading headlines like this for years now, and LLMs are still shit at doing anything other than produce things that superficially look good but rarely stand up to close inspection.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago

Expecting that one can improve an automated parrot to the point of getting intelligence is like expecting that one can improve the miming of a door to the point that one gets an actual door.

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 46 points 20 hours ago (11 children)
  1. No it won’t.
  2. Anyone who frames LLMs as ‘intelligence’ is betraying they don’t understand what they’re talking about.
  3. Any work a LLM can perform effectively is work no human should be performing.

What a crock of shit. We all know that's what they want, but it's not happening.

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 18 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Until the AI results can be trusted, I don’t see how this happens. I’ve been using AI for some questions that would normally be on stackoverflow but I don’t find code generation to save me time. Because I can’t implicitly trust the product, I still have to review the code before I can use it. If I have to review and understand it, it rarely saves me time. There have been edge cases where it helped me in some areas, like turning a CSV into a visual report in PDF format but I still had to review everything. It just happens that I suck as report tools so it was a shorter amount of time for me to review the AI report than to put together visualizations myself.

[–] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 20 points 22 hours ago

I'd offer a small correction: that ain't happening as long as companies are liable for the AI's work. If companies can just blame the model and get away with a fine that's less than the savings, they absolutely will take that deal. Keep companies accountable and the bubble will burst

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

You're not using it correctly. You're supposed to vibecode the entire application by defining good parameters. You don't debug or fix stuff, you just iterate. You just make a new application with revised parameters.

If you tell the LLM "this is bad, make it better", it will have the bad thing im it's context and it will therefor try to make the bad thing again.

Instead, if it makes a mistake,you throw out the whole thing and start over witg revised parameters.

This will save us money in the short run. In the long run... who cares.

You forgot "/s" I tried that a few times. With and without welling what's wrong. After 3-5 times it gives you the first solution it offered. Tell them that and it ignores it.

[–] pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip 4 points 18 hours ago

Tell them that and it ignores it.

You can't trust that it's impossible by it's architecture like if you tell it reset your memory... and it will simulate that it forgot, but it didn't and it will affect all prompts

This is way all models easily leak their system prompts.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 29 points 19 hours ago

Well it certainly is wiping out Microsoft, so he is not wrong

[–] hector@lemmy.today 0 points 7 hours ago

Ah, is someone out over their skiis on AI that didn't live up to it's hype? Yes sure buddy, AI could do that, if it was actually AI, but it's not, maybe some day, enjoy spending all of that money. Jokes on us because we just know they will pay the feds off to bail them out when the bubble pops.

[–] puppinstuff@lemmy.ca 69 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

It’s always in the next 6 months, 12 months, and then time passes and the claim keeps getting remade.

They just want investment hype.

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Just 6 more months bro, trust me. Please bro just 6 more month and it'll happen bro

[–] lurker@awful.systems 6 points 17 hours ago

just one more data centre's gonna do it! just give me a couple million more bucks!

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 21 hours ago

Tesla will drive autonomously soon, before 2018, promise.

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 41 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

They are right. If Microsoft keeps using AI to develop their products there will be no more jobs at Microsoft.

[–] deltaspawn0040@lemmy.zip 25 points 20 hours ago

"AI is going to do this very big thing" - someone heavily invested in AI.

This isn't a warning, this is a sales pitch.

Fuel that bubble, bud. It's running out of soap.

It’s hilarious how the AI-pushing CEOs have determined that the best way of selling more subscriptions is to act like a terrified chihuahua pissing itself because of how super strong and scary they pretend their product is.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 22 hours ago

How about you make your OS able to update itself without bricking then we can talk about revolutionizing the world, eh?

[–] groucho@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 21 hours ago

Let's replace him with an AI. Let's hang an ugly leather jacket up in a datacenter and replace Jensen Huang while we're at it.

[–] darkmarx@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Counter point: It won't.

This is like being told you could win $100M when you're handed a lottery ticket. There is a lot of weight on the word "could."

Except in this case the lottery doesn't exist, the ticket is a fake, and we're all about to be screwed when the bubble bursts.

So, in a way, he's right. A lot of white collar (and blue collar and no collar) jobs could be gone in 12 months, due to the AI bubble popping. Nice of him to put his name out there now so we know who's to blame.

"...so you'd better not ask for a raise!" is the unspoken addition to that quote.

The same Chief who said they needed to find something useful with their product or risk public backlash?

[–] brendansimms@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

is he talking about his own job?

Mmhmm yes, snake oil salesman, tell me more about how your snake oil is going to cure capitalism. I believe you.

[–] Coyote_sly@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

....said some dumbass executive, while masturbating furiously at the fantasy.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

While it's true anyone that has asked an LLM a question about a field they are an expert in knows this is bullshit, your bosses boss can likely be convinced otherwise.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 5 points 20 hours ago

Hahahahahaha. My firm is so overworked thanks to work cleaning aftwr AI related fuckups that we are often triple booked or more.

If this keeps up, gray beards are going to retire in luxury thanks to this AI bullshit.
