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.

“Profoundly impressive”?
I find nothing profound about it at all. It’s a devastating resource hog, it’s wrong a lot of the time, it’s manipulated by its owners to deliver the messages they want or avoid inconveniencing them, it lends itself to the further stupidification of humans who are too lazy to fact check(that’s almost everyone), it’s used to make video lies in the face of objective truth and sexually humiliate women.
Honestly, fuck AI.
Why it couldn’t be strictly deployed as a backup to human skill such as looking for cancer, trying to formulate better drugs, etc. instead of the invasive garbage it is being used to get rid of humans.
Ai is great. It can detect cancers earlier. It can optimize traffic lights to reduce travel times and accidents. It can calculate folds of proteins. It can find and summarize tiny details from huge sets of data.
Fuck cramming it into my operating system though. I don't need an LLM to run a query on Lightroom and give me a summary of the application and suggest how I can download and install it when it is already installed on my system and I just want to filter my list of apps so I don't need to scroll halfway down my programs list to open it.
The problem isn't AI. The problem is the people selling it.
Why did you just say what I said while initially contradicting me yet ignore the valid ctiticisms?
If this was a verbal conversation you'd think that was a normal response instead of someone picking a fight.
The reply correctly highlighted the idea that AI is 'impressive'. It wasn't a denial of your critiques of AI.
I was under the assumption that you were against AI all together, not just the data-scraping privacy-violating megacorp deployments of LLMs.
Making sand output what feels like a real conversation is impressive. Making nuclear bombs is impressive. Bad things can be impressive.
I didn't say the potential capabilities weren't impressive. Creating interesting things from text prompts is impressive. I do not find it profound.
