"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.

Odd url...Here's the original: https://futurism.com/chatgpt-polluted-ruined-ai-development
Nice detail to use when searching the internet btw:
Try running searches set pre-2022, at least for older info, to reduce the possibilities of AI generated noise.
Anyway, kinda funny to see these generators may be producing enough noise to make producing more noise somewhat harder. Hopefully this doesn't also impact more productive AI development, such as what's used in scientific research and the like, as that would genuinely suck.
Edit:
Revised from generators "have produced" to "may be producing" to better reflect the lack of concrete info regarding generative AI data pollution as someone else pointed out. As they note:
There's nothing in the article, the Register article or any references that claim there is actual pollution of data.
It's based on speculation made years ago.
Plus side of actual useful application of LLM/AI is the data is usually a small subset of data, and it would have to be tested anyways since it would have to be used in the real world. I think the main use of LLM/AI in mainstream is using it on small datasets like that instead of the race for the holy grail of "General" AI.
Fuck. Will this next epoch retrospectively be considered a dark age, not bc disinformation, but bc after 2022 we were giberishing morons?
