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.

So fucking relatable. Recent experience: I called up my brother who is a car guy to get some help getting an old car started. He's worked on cars, farm equipment, and sold car parts. He knows his shit.

I gave him what I was seeing and what I had done and he sends back a screen shot of what ChatGPT said about what I explained to him.

I would have rather had a 30 minute conversation of us going, "I don't know. Have you tried this? Yeah, oh, well, then, um, hmm. Maybe it is the defanglinator. Or the wires to the pulsometerizer." We're exercising our brains, enjoying each other's conversation, solving a problem together... which is more important than actually solving the problem and why I called you, you dope!

Oh, and the LLM response ended up not being relevant or helpful. We're all fucking cooked.

Error. <_> I do not compute. xD

Alas still, being an expert and yet sending someone LLM response is a low blow. xD

If you send me uncurated AI output, I will just pipe it back into ChatGPT and reply the result.
