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.

He left out the "to the ground" part

Either the AI did a horrible job you lose customer, or it used so much token it rake's up the bill thining the profit. Or both.

Let's leave interacting with customers to an AI. It's known to have error rates and decision making ability of a drunken frat boy/sor girl. I am sure nothing will go wrong with that.

Do people not realize that they are effectively giving their entire business to google/meta/microsoft when they do this? These companies are already trying to copyright anything their ai's generate. What makes these business owners think that wont include their entire business when the other shoe drops???

Yeah I mean regular tech illiterate people as targets for all this I understand, but the fact that there are so many marks in enterprise who are just like “YES MICROSOFT! YES ANTHROPIC! TAKE THE WHEEL! RUN MY NUMBERS, SCAN MY STRATEGIES, HAVE MY TRADE SECRETS!” Is frankly astounding.

It’s really fucking scary growing up and realizing that none of the adults ever actually knew what the fuck they’re doing.

Like, we don’t even trust experts anymore. People think doctors are bad.

I feel so bad for all the people discovering this now, instead of separately from the AI bubble.

One of the scariest and most liberating things I found when growing older was that there are no responsible adults, nobody knows what they're doing all the time, and we're collectively making it up as we go along.

“Passive income” is a crazy obsession, like water for fuel.

Aka rent seeking

Sure... you first. Why not lead by example.

I read it as Zuckerberg wants to Zuck your business dry.

There's an "i" in "ruin," Mark.

LLMs cannot even run a simple vending machine. Why would anyone sane trust it to run a real business?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Because they're too stupid to realize this.

I mean of course he does. Imagine the cut he'd get from every single business which, not to mention, would soon become so dependent on him that he'd de facto own them. He'd have so much control it would be unreal.

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

Seriously the owning part is ridiculous. Dude decides your business is too woke? Poof shut down.

All fun and games until Zucc himself gets fired and replaced with ai

Under capitalism the capitalists own the company, they already don't need to run the company or even contribute. There's no reason for this to change when the labor is done by machines instead of humans.

Considering it gives away Instagram accounts to whoever asks, that doesn't seem like a solid business move.

It is honestly truly incredible how much of an abject fucking idiot he’s become. A while ago, he was a shrewd, technically-minded leader - not by any means perfect, but still rather effective. But the last several years have emphasized more and more that he is absolutely high on his own supply at this point.
