"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"

A YouTube video of someone cutting chips on a CNC does absolutely nothing for training. They can't just watch the mill cut without precise measurements. What they need is what he knows about machining. They're interested in him taking in a spec, building it in CAD, generating a program from it, why he chooses what he chooses, speeds, angles, what's possible, what's not possible. None of this is required for his own YouTube video. Clean up the mill, get the lights good, and just let people watch it fly.
He's not putting his expertise into Youtube, he's just showing you the piece being made, jump cuts around working with the model. Hell, showing failures. There's a damned strong following for speechless videos of machinists/engineers doing work.
The real upside: say he's making phone cases, keychains, parts; people will go to his site and buy that shit. He doesn't have to give the baby away with the bathwater.
