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.

and of course he's a conservative

I was honestly hoping it wouldn't be a con just so I wouldn't feel so justified in shitting on them all the time

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 62 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Can we talk about him powering through like nothing happened? I can’t figure out if he’s just a robot that has no concept of what he just read out loud or he’s hoping no one noticed.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's the standard practice for speeches, where you just power through any mistakes you make while speaking and keep going.

Stopping, or going back to correct the mistake would interrupt the speech more than the mistake did.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah that makes sense. It was just weird to see I guess.

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What do you mean? We have always been at war with Eastasia

[–] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago

You are correct, we have always been at war with Eurasia.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 10 points 2 days ago

politicians basically just read like AI verbatim anyways.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

They're just robots when they're giving speeches.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 124 points 3 days ago (3 children)

If you use AI to write your speeches, you clearly have not bothered to study the issue at hand and are therefore not qualified to be representing your constituents on said issue.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 25 points 2 days ago

I think it's safe to assume 99% of the geriatrics aren't fit to be representatives.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 13 points 2 days ago

Once again, we see AI being embraced by the lazy, the sloppy, and those allergic to effort.

[–] aeiou@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

Not like they wrote them before, it's just the fleshy staffers they had for the task are out of a job now.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Not a prompt, it's the part of a conversational AI's response that isn't part of the requested content. A kind of framing, header or footer.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago

Do we really need the position open if all they are doing is reporting on what the magic 8-ball showed them? We could pay minimum wage to some teen and save a big chunk of that wage money those politicians get too much of.

This is the way.

"I can't write a cohesive argument on why I am intuitively against this idea so let me ask AI to do it instead"

[–] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 61 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I’m still waiting for the day when a politician reads: “As an AI model, I don’t have an opinion on this topic, but here’s a convincing speech on…”

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 80 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Reminds me of the "I'm a black gay guy" tweet

Edit quote and add context

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 days ago

For real - this one remains unforgettable. Thank you.

[–] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

LOL. What a glorious quote. Goes to show why you shouldn’t be using short form microblogging services for a serious purpose like that.

Maybe just write a normal blog post about it and share the link on xitter? Nah, just paste and post. It’ll be fine…

[–] shani66@ani.social 5 points 1 day ago

You know that's not what was happening, right? The chud thought he logged into a different account and was trying to astroturf. Conservatives do this all the time

[–] ddplf@szmer.info -1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And with an em dash in the next tweet. Fucking lunatic. These guys are essentially just overpaid AI models, heavily quantized too.

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 7 points 2 days ago

Wasn't AI, this was back in early November 2020.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Using normal parts of the English language makes me a lunatic?

[–] one_old_coder@piefed.social 79 points 3 days ago

Politicians deserve some prison for making fun of democracy by using AI like that.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's not confirmation bias if the bias is confirmed, is it?

[–] WaterSword@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

>progressive >conservative So neither??

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Every so often in Canada, conservatives get to be unpopular enough they need to merge with other parties so they can win. They merged with the Progressive Party a long time ago so that's what they're called Progressive Conservative in a lot of provinces. Except in Alberta where they had to do more mergers and they're the United Conservative Party now.

Federally, the Progressive Conservative Party later merged with the Reform party and I guess "reform" cancels out "progressive" so they're just the Conservative Party at the Federal level now.

[–] WaterSword@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 days ago

Thanks for the lore!

[–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They like extracting oil and natural resources, but also giving it away near free to other countries (read: usa). So kinda both?

[–] Dwayne_Elizondo_Mountain_Dew_Camacho@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He's from New Brunswick, it's a bit different here.

We give all our forests to Irving, they wreck the environment, and we keep them in check by giving them huge tax breaks.

It's a win-win-win.

[–] RagnvaldG@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, he’s an oxyMORON !

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 7 points 2 days ago

Ron, why did you say that? Why? Why, Ron, why? You were my hero, Ron. You come out with... stink like that. Poop... you poopmouth.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I'm sorry, we were looking for "Dammit! Who typed a question mark on the Teleprompter? For the last time, anything you put on that prompter, Burgundy will read!"

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

what a fucking embarrassment, and I'm American. this is worse than any dumb shit the Cheeto in chief could say.

[–] binux@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

…I know the standard for what qualifies as an embarrassment is in the centre of the Earth down there, but uh… yeah, no. I trust the senile-yet-relatively-stable politician to say the less awful thing over Mr. Pedo-Genocide, thank you.

didn't know we were in a micropenis pissing contest.

Can’t these old ass geezers just die already?

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 18 points 2 days ago

He's a conservative. My expectations weren't high.

[–] ZC3rr0r@piefed.ca 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Unrelated to the topic at hand, but man, have his politics ruined this show for me harder than the terrible acting.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

he had a series of strokes during a chiro adjustment, which made him CRAY cray, and it just unmased his jealousy for xena. he even had his own show, andromeda, he ruined thar too.

[–] CoolSouthpaw@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Dumbass. Fire this scrub now.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Sarcastically I'm in charge.
