"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.

and now we’re back to lesser evilism
personally, i’m not switching back to windows, but i also can’t blame someone for choosing not to bother with learning a new os and dealing with its limitations now that the ethical and community arguments that might have convinced them (and that convinced me) are moot
This stance still doesnt make sense. The average user is effected by the quality degrading design choices crammed into windows. None of that transfers to Linux. The only pop-up I get asking me to do anything is discovery telling me to update a flatpack. Its still a night and day difference. Dont miss the sun because the ground is more comfortable to stare at.
Always were? Linux has never been a perfect OS, just the least bad option that gets you by without trying to scam you into subscribing to Copilot 365
That's why I included the bit about "forced to choose". Most people aren't in that situation, and they can happily stay. I'm just speaking about a hypothetical situation where everything else is equal.
