"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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

I'm not gonna watch it, but can I anti-watch it, so my 'view' counts negatively against it?
Torrent it thousands of times so the movie execs freak out about the massive theft they are suffering.
That still signals interest.
So, ive been thinking about this...
You are right, but what if it was possible to generate such fake interest that they take a movie that did poorly, and decide to make a sequel thinking there was actual real interest.
Then they burn that money on the sequel no one wanted and the sequel doesn't get the fake support turned on.
It does seem way more complicated of a long con though to pull off.
I get what you're saying but to really make a difference and change the industry, you'd have to organise a concerted effort globally and that sounds pretty difficult.
