"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.

How do you differentiate ai from any other invention? They all had naysayers. (sh.itjust.works)

Tech bros love to argue that llms are the future just like the internet or electricity. Of course many of them love Ayn Rand and live in a fictional stupid bubble world but anyways; are they right? I guarantee there were studies showing we are dumber for using the internet, or GPS, or that cars are much worse than horses etc. That can be seen through history.

When it comes down to it, everything is a tool. But I feel ai will mostly be used for evil, where the internet is probably 50/50 evil and good.

To me, the single biggest argument against LLMs and generative AI is this:

It is a technology whose sole purpose, by design, is to persuade humans to accept what it has produced, with no regard for correctness. Bottom line, that's mechanically how the technology works. An automated grifter, thief, liar, and manipulator.

And it's so disturbingly effective and in widespread use that our very sense of reality and truth under attack.
