Scum Cuntman, surprised when people do not like slop being forced right in their faces.
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.
This makes it obivous that tech ceos are just so out of touch with reality
The headline is a lie. The CEOs are not confused; they know why. And in the article, they don't even pretend they're confused, because that's too ridiculous to claim even in a media blurb.
They are mad at everyone at work for not using the AI tools more. I was told that we aren't seeing productivity gains because people aren't using the tools right but I think it's more that the tools don't live up to expectations so people don't care to use them. They are expecting all this work to be done faster and it's causing everyone to work more. Any productivity gains is from us working all hours of the day
I'm in a similar boat, my company isn't pushing it too hard but they are definitely on the AI train and I truly haven't found a great use for it yet. Everything it puts out still has to be double checked so it seems like if I'm doing the work anyways I might as well just do it right the first time.
I don't hate it but I do understand why some people do. Actually I do hate it too. My bank is using it for Customer Circus...and its that a circus.
Because like them it’s so incredibly lame
CEOs are generally speaking… calculating. They just want this in the news. They want people talking. Who is interested in an IPO nobody is talking about? Nobody gave a damn about Oracle after they collapsed until their CEO started doing ridiculous shit just to be in headlines, like sparring with Red Hat, as an example.
Calculating and immoral
I remember a time when tech ceos actually used the internet. It seems that now they just get their MBAs, a job, and then spend all their free time avoiding technology and listening to other people tell them what they want to heat
Perhaps if they didn't buy up all the RAM, HDDs , GPUs and making PC building / home computing so expensive, maybe we might consider liking it a bit.
Don't forget that the Internet is currently ruined by AI-slop that is continuously flooding once interesting human-created content. This is probably my biggest gripe of AI. I've significantly reduced my screen-time, basically stopped coding in my free-time because of this sloppy mess that we call Internet right now...
Nah I'd still hate AI because it's trash
There was absolutely no reason for AI companies to go batshit crazy. This was pure supply shock. Each level assumed 10x exponential growth. A sane 2x or 4x would have been manageable for all suppliers
They keep telling us how cool and fun it is. Why won't we believe them? They know what's best for us, and they're going to make us take it whether we want it or not.
Not me, I've never touched the shit.
Me either, well knowingly and willingly outside it appearing in searches.
Are we rare?
No
Good
They shoved AI everywhere without any concern over what the users want. Now the users are resentful, while the AI bros go Shocked Pikachu Face.
I can’t help but wonder if the public reaction would’ve been more positive if we hadn’t been inundated by AI intrusions in seemingly every facet of technology. In a way, I can appreciate that the hatred is home-grown - the biggest issues I see revolve around the ethical issues stemming from AI’s lack of regulation, and ethical issues don’t tend to make the public react. The fact that people already found their own reasons to dislike AI means we’re all on the same page. If the public were fans, I’d just be dismissed as a bleeding-heart for giving a shit about right and wrong.
But here we are, standing together in hatred. So beautiful.
I don't hate the AI that much. It's useful in some specific circumstances, but mostly is just a fun novelty toy.
I hate the CEOs forcing it down our throats.
AI is being used to generate videos of minorities breaking laws and rioting. That is its purpose
Ok, but you should hate it though. AI, as implemented by capitalism, is downright detrimental in so so so many ways. Even if we set aside the huge environmental costs, energy and water price hikes in communities near data centers, loss of jobs due to AI, theft of IP, and sloppification of the internet, it is also doing things like convincing my friend with bipolar that they should attempt suicide.
That's kinda contained in "the CEOs forcing it down our throats" though, y'know? They're forcing it down our throats because capitalism requires it, they need public buy-in and mass adoption or else the whole economic structure implodes.
None of that tells me I should hate the technology, like any other technology under capitalism.
I wonder why people don't want cloud based AI running their microwave
Artificial intelligence is a primary keystone for a science fiction civilization to move its labor from the people to machines, but they obviously ignored the other keystones such as equal rights, shared wealth and further opportunities to all humans. The wealthy want all the wealth and opportunities to themselves; cut the people out of the equation to gain more market and never have to pay the lower class citizens ever again. They clearly designated themselves no longer human. We the people think for ourselves and we the humans should easily abandon them. No longer serve them no matter how much they offer, no longer entertain them no how much they give, no more trust no matter how much they plead. They ignored us for so long and destroyed our world, why should we hear their pleas?
Key difference, what is called AI in science fiction isn’t the same as the AI we see today. These companies just adopted the term AI from science fiction as a marketing strategy. Not because it’s actually representative.
Some people are now having to clarify AGI, rather than just AI, because the term has got so diluted.
Because we are not absolute morons incapable of independent thought like they are
Really illustrative of how out-of-touch people become when they reach a certain level of personal wealth.
We also hate the CEOs
You know what I HATE?
Look at the FUCKING SENTENCE STRUCTURE OF THE ARTICLE!
It's written by FUCKING AI!
I think the world is ready for me to start my blogging again. Complete stream of consciousness garbage no AI could replicate 🤣🤣🤣
I don't know man Tech CEOs keep talking about their latest shit will replace people's job jee makes me wonder why?
“It’s extremely hurtful, frankly,” said Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang in a January interview about the “battle of [AI] narratives.”
Isn't admitting you are confused and hurt by why customers don't like a product tantamount to admitting complete incompetence as a CEO?
You know what's extremely hurtful??
Get something that does not work being forced down your throat.
Get something that does not work being forced down your throat.
Honestly, it's not just that.
Digital services have this terrible trend to get downgraded because some designer decides something like
Well, having 10 buttons is too much, we should have only 4 buttons. We should also make the UI 5x more clumsy (although they'd call it 'beginner-friendly')
Ai is very similar, except it's an exec throwing tantrums to slap AI onto something, which wastes company resources and makes the product either more or a lot more worse than before.
