"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.

Is it Zuckerberg wanting to create a fear narrative, like "we'll never be able to catch up with China," or now "Zuckerberg can't even keep up with his competitors." Or is it possibly just tech bros believing each other's hype again, and actually fearing "AI" that's really just 700 engineers in a trenchcoat.
Its the latter. But the AI CEOs pushing AI know it's 90% hot air. It always is. Most of them are in on the joke, so to speak (aside from a few zealots). What they really fear is the investors realizing they've been hyping crap that isn't making a return and might not ever make a return and losing confidence. If that happens then the stock price takes a dive, and they may be less quick to buy back in - and for Zuck he's bet big on stupid investments more than once, so investors are becoming gun shy.
Personally I'm hoping it all crumbles and people become embarrassed to mention AI in a couple years like they are with NFTs now. After all that's why I'm on this sub, LLM mania sucks for soo many reasons.
(Edit: spelling)
NFT... I'm certainly not embarrassed with my NFCs!
Thanks, prior comment was written while quite tired. Edited it 👍
