Fuck AI

"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.

There are too many sponsored AI girlfriend apps.

You would think with new strict online safety laws about "protect the kids, show me your ID" this would be the single upside.

But somehow they aren't blocked. At all. Sponsored, even.

Like if they just pretended it's an actual safety for children thing they would remove it.

Just pretend. Please. Lie competently.

I can't remember ever in my life using Play Store to browse for apps. It's been literally nothing but ads for as long as I can remember. If there's an app I need I will search the web for recommendations and then just click the link that opens in the Store. So while I certainly care for other people, on a personal level, it doesn't bother me at all.
