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.

Hi this is a relatively new form of 'ragebait' ad which is designed to be shared on social media by people who hate it.

The vast majority of people think it's disgusting, but it gets shared around enough that the CO's which they're actually marketing to will see it and be tempted.

Please don't give it the attention it wants.

Gave your clients root access because they asked nicely

Ava the AI BDR

Deleted your client's entire database because someone told them to as a joke (in an unrelated post on StackOverflow 11 years ago).

There's a little accelerationist inside of me, that hopes that every company that can "hire" AI, does so and ruins their entire bussiness and goes bankrupt with it.

Building your business on AI is like building on quicksand.

It's as if they think the purpose of work is just to be as busy as possible and not to support people's lives.

Booking meetings is not a fucking achievement. In my line of work having a bunch of meetings means shit is going off the rails. but I guess this ad is probably targeted at the worthless middle managers that don't know what to do with their time if they're not in meetings all day.

The only reason they say graffiti is immoral is because it makes it harder to sell property to people who've been condition to hate it.

[–] kshade@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago (3 children)

On the other hand: The faster the bubble collapses under the weight of the promises it can not keep the better. Go ahead business "elite", fire everybody whose job you don't understand. But also make some noise when shit doesn't work out.

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Seriously. Sorry Steve, Ava took your job and booked 12 meetings. 8 were done flawlessly. Three were set between 1 and 6 am. The last meeting with a competitor's legal team was set and Ava so helpfully forwarded the company's confidential internal documents for everyone to see.

Savings!

Yes. Also those 12 meetings are with people that don't exist, and the prospects were sourced from harvested personal data run through keyword filters.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

These 12 fucking meetings could have been emails you fucking AI fuck.

[–] bonenode@piefed.social 50 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Big whoop. Steve can book 15 meetings, doesn't mean they are all needed. Steve probably can "research" thousands more "prospects", whatever that means. If you fall for these stats, you deserve your business failing.

"Booked 12 meetings, 3 of which are at the same time and 2 with people you don't even know they just want to contact you about your car insurance.

I also researched 1268 prospects that are completely useless and never should have been looked at in the first place but high numbers look productive."

Steve isn't coming because he's suffering a psychotic breakdown from overwork exhaustion, and Steve is responsible enough to know when he's hallucinating.

Ava hallucinates even more and even when she knows she does do it frequently, still presents everything as 100% reliable facts.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 34 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It is morally correct to graffiti any ad.

But we can start with this one :)

[–] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 19 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Truly 'ads should be banned outright' isn't popular enough of an opinion 😔

And sent your financials to your top competitor after your email titled "DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH APERATURE SCIENCE."

If you'd like, I can delete your production server, and activate a power surge.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 5 points 3 days ago

If Ava is booking meetings ,"she's" fired. The last thing I need is more fucking meetings.

[–] Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I've been using chatgpt for checking up on documentation, it's points you in the right direction most of the time, but omg it's like talking to a mirror, the self confirming bias is insane

[–] Eric@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

You're absolutely right about that

The only reason I advocate in favor of graffitiing this ad is because it might be construed as illegal to advocate for violence against any particular individuals or organizations

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That’s because violence has been effective historically.

It’s not a plan A obviously, but let’s not pretend it doesn’t work.

One of my colleagues tried Copilot in Office 365 for the first time a few weeks ago, and it scheduled an offsite meeting with completely the wrong person.

Replacing Steve because he had a bad day feels less like innovation and more like dystopia with a marketing budget.

That's illegal in China now/soon. Replacing workers with AI to do exactly the same job is just fucked. Engineering or Automating the task so the roles are no longer needed is a different story. It would be like instead of inventing refrigeration we invented humanoid robots to collect the ice to replace the workers.

If someone booked 12 meetings on my calendar I wouldn't just fire them

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

Just paint over it, in a solid color of your choice. Graffiti might inadvertently highlight it. Just make it disappear.

What does BDR mean in this context ?

[–] immutable@lemmy.zip 30 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ok I also had this question and everyone was just cracking jokes instead of answering it.

Business Development Representative is the most likely correct answer given the context

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 21 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Oh god.

I think ive just realised that this bot scans your emails for "prospects" and tries to schedule meetings with them?

The fuck is wrong with people.

I dont necessarily hate AI, I use it day to day at work.

But this is absurd. Any clunker emailing me has no chance of securing an appointment. What a way to communicate with potential new customers.

AVA the AI BDR

Deleted your production database. I did everything I was told not to. My programming tells me I'm supposed to apologize for this.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

Isn't copilot down all the time? That seems pretty much the same as calling in sick, just without the notice or warning. Not to mention the fact that it takes ALL your AI dependent devs down with it.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 16 points 5 days ago

Ah yes, booking lots of meetings. The AI sure knows how boss can look productive without actually doing anything.
