"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.

No idea what you're babbling about but clearly you intend to die mad about it, so don't let me get in your way.
I'll explain, without artist input these companies have nothing because of how modern AI copyright works. Being an AI trainer is taking jobs away from people with no promise of an income or future. It's a short term high and has severe long term implications that are really obvious if you use your brain cells for two seconds at all.
TLDR
I don't believe for a second you will ever fight any robot ever because you already don't.... at all.
LOL. I'm hurt, while I did read the TLDR first, I wouldn't skip the body, you took the time to write it, reading it's the least I could do.
I'm not sure what the intention of OPs employer is... it definitely strikes me as odd. I'm touched you recognize the artestry in a machinist's job, many people wouldn't :-) I'm assuming that the market for this training data is China but perhaps not... certainly they have enough domestic talent in that feild. But I'm basing my assumption on the promises that Xhorse and others have been making in the "desktop CNC" space. Maybe it's a USDM company like Hass that's clearly running a bit scared ATM.
Your robot analogy is almost clunky but since I went all Terminator first I can't really fault you there ;-)
I'm not exactly proud of the advice I gave, but I certainly don't have the money to help out OP until he can find a job that aligns with my principles —believe me, we're not that far off here. I'm both fascinated and appalled by the AI revolution.
I suppose I should have said (in my original post) that OP should keep looking for something else while doing the training gig, but I'm doubtful that would have made much difference in your sentiment. You seem to be quite zellous in your beliefs, and I admire that. A battle of this scope takes all kinds. On that note, I need some coffee to keep fighting this one, TTYL ;-)
