"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.

I find it super sus that people are going "yay, we get to make up a slur!" It's not a matter of the targets being hurt by it, it's the motivation.
Ehhh, I kinda get it. I like humanity; it's pretty neat. I don't like slurs denigrating certain groups of humans. I don't like AI being pushed to replace human things and being personified in its own way. This is one of the rare times that a slur is used against a non-human AND was simply declared to be intended as a slur from the beginning, rather than having some history driving it.
To your point about the motivation being important: what of the motivation do you see as a problem? I see a resistance to AI replacing important characteristics of humanity. That's a pretty good one, I'd say.
The motivation is what I already stated: "Yay, we get to make up a slur!"
To whose detriment?
To the detriment of society at large.
