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.

Can we get some citations besides an image someone posted? I did a cursory look and couldn’t substantiate any of this. The only real news is Nvidia saying their last round of investments in openAI and Anthropic would probably be their last.

Genuine question. I know it’s fun to hate on AI slop and openAI in general, but there are enough real facts, don’t feel like we need any made up ones to win folks over

Thank you for at least finding an article. I sadly have to agree that this is an op-ed piece and that it does differ a bit from the picture.

Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go and cancel your subscription. I personally just don’t feel that we need to resort to exaggerated or false claims. Actual, verifiable facts are pretty damning on their own, the donations and super pacs alone are enough reasons to justify boycotting them. That doesn’t even include their defense contracts or ICE contracts. Heck, the environmental impact and the impact on consumer goods’ prices are enough on their own.

But we don’t need to make stuff up or spin it in a way to exaggerate a message to support an agenda. We get enough of that shit from AI slop articles making news up as it is.

That article is an opinion piece, which is stated at the top. Then if you follow the link to what Sam Altman said

Sam Altman admits OpenAI ‘screwed up’ the writing quality on ChatGPT 5.2 – and promises future versions won’t ‘neglect’ it.

So right there we have some exaggeration or misinterpretation. This place is being like r/conservative where anything goes as long as it fits our ideals and I’m not down for that.

I’m not defending OpenAI. Im defending that we don’t spread misinformation. Plenty of actual shit as the other person said.

I'd say the news that they lost their biggest source of financing is more than enough.
