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.

Instead, companies with the highest gains were those using AI as a form of "people amplification", rather than outright replacing them.

Another study proving that the reality is drastically different from all the hype.

Stick to companies that use AI sensibly rather than force it onto their staff & products.

Well yeah, AI has been ready to replace people "any day now" for over a year and all its done is require more energy to produce incrementally less sloppy slop, and even that is a bit generous.

and even that is a bit generous.

True. AI is also laying the groundwork for data breaches, and unplanned downtime.

It was a smokescreen. They literally used AI as an excuse for layoffs in order to maximize profits and minimize overhead in the short term.

I'm all for studying this to have science back up what we already knew, but at the same time I absolutely am having a "duh" moment here.

Wait until they have to pay through their noses to hire the specialists to fix the shit AI created.
