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.

Artist Jingna Zhang built Cara, a platform explicitly intended to protect artists from having their art stolen by AI...and yet these people just won't leave them well enough alone.

I wanted to verify this. It was real but has been since removed and judging from the missing comments by the moderators nonetheless, so that's a W. Then I looked through this community and here are some neat experiences I had:

  • One post's subject was a goober on social media saying "cannibalism is more justified than ai art". I looked through all the comments - none of them even entertained the possibility of this being a joke.

  • In fact it is very often that they just post some stupid anti-ai screenshot where the original post had like two impressions and title it the ai equivalent of 'they are coming for our guns!'

  • I sorted by Top/Year. First post was a random drawing someone made with their hand and said "i'm not good at prompting so I drew this with my hand". My flabers have been gasted.

  • It's pretty weird because it's like looking in a mirror in a way: their arguments are exactly the same as I thought they were* - and the way they are posting about us is sadly pretty similar to the way we are posting about them. This post included.

*And yeah, I think those arguments are terrible, but for some reason they don't and that weirds me out how when presented with the same arguments people can just go in completely different directions.

So this was my shallow dive into a community that shall not be named on a platform that shall not be named. Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.

CN: indirect mentions of transphobia

It's always super interesting to see the way that people talk in an ideologically oriented subreddit such as this (though less so nowadays due to bots)

!One of the most interesting examples of this was back before the transphobia subreddit GenderCritical got banned. When I first heard of the sub, from it's name, I thought that it would be like the exact opposite of what it actually is, like people who were critical of the entire construct of gender. Alas, it was a cess pool of hate. What I found super interesting though was that they did regular "Just no trans" threads, where they would ask people what their "just no trans" moment was. It was honestly absurd how many of the stories in these threads took the form of "I was abused by a cis man, and then struggled to get any justice against him because patriarchy often excuses these kinds of acts. Anyway, that's why I hate trans women". It made me realise how many of the people who identify as TERFs specifically are just traumatised women who feel so disempowered under the patriarchy that they feel comforted by the power they get from punching down at trans people. It's fucking tragic, because our best strategy against systemic oppression is always intersectional solidarity, and when it comes to feminism specifically, trans people are situated uniquely well to be able to strengthen the cause.!<

You can learn a lot about people from how they speak when they're amongst their own

Could you be more explicit about what you feel the takeaway is here?
