"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.

AI generated I simply give a thumbs down.
I'd rather have them remove those fcking annoying AI generated subtitles right in the middle of the shorts. Which are also wrong most of the time.
Or atleast let the disable subtitles setting also apply there.
YouTube shorts are the worst...
I let that shit drag me into a four-hour-long doomscroll one day and then promptly installed a browser extension to hide them from ever showing up again.
My kid stumbled onto them once and within a dozen or so videos she witnessed Shrek murdering Peppa Pig's family. And we heavily, heavily moderated her viewing, as well as her feed and recommendations. Left the room for a few minutes and came back to that trauma.
Fuck YouTube Shorts.
