"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.
- No misinformation.
- No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
- 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.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- 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.
You can help the mod team by making your reports detailed.
Effective reports:
- "The third image is a well-known anti-semitic trope"
- "Claiming that 'agentic AI' can outperform humans at all jobs is misinformation"
Less effective reports:
- "Breaks rules"
- "Misinformation"

CP is illegal everywhere. ChatGPT is a legal app. Replace ChsrGPT with another legal product, like Apple: "I don't like Apple business decisions so we ban all Apple products from being used in our town". Apple products are legal. Should they be able to tell you that you can't use any Apple services in their town?
Imagine if every community could tell you what legal products you cannot use privately within their city limits. It is absurd.
It's not that absurd. Consider weapons (not guns, because the Supreme Court doesn't know how to read the 2A), or drugs (like Kratom, which has been causing issues lately). Do you agree they can regulate those? They're federally legal. That doesn't mean they can't be illegal locally. There are a lot of things that are legal federally but locally illegal.
Again you are making arguments that are not equal. Communities have always had the right to regulate sales. That's why pornography bans and alcohol bans exist. But it is for the sale of the restricted product. You can drink alcohol in a dry county, you just have to drive across the county line.
It is not only absurd, but it is unenforceable without forcing people to allow authorities to inspect their phones and computers or spy on their web traffic.
They do not have the right to create a law that infringes on your personal rights to access legal content. It's so absurd it's more likely a stunt to influence ignorant voters than an ordinance they plan to ever act upon.
AI products are rarely running locally. You're using the service of a company, who is not doing so for free. Even if you aren't paying, you're consuming the product. Like you said, they can regulate sales, like this.
I agree, it's practically unenforceable (on the consumer). However, there are many such laws. They're usually used to add on to a crime that is already committed. Rarely does someone get pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt, for example.
It's not legal content if they make it illegal. For example, like you said, they can do porn bans, right? If they restrict accessing AI products, that's the same thing, right?
