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.

Anyone else experience this?

You run into a niche or weird issue. So you google "how to x", "y not working on z" or "Error code: 123"; The 1st, 2nd, 3rd page are infected, probably 90% AI slop. Don't have any luck even with the one blog post that was probably written by a human.

Now I have to go to YouTube. Look for a tutorial, 1st, 2nd, 3rd video all AI. AI voice, AI avatar, bot comments like "😍😍😍".

Finally I reach a real video from a year or two ago that actually solved my issue. Took 4 hours when normally I could find it in 1 hour tops.

Google/Bing (includes DuckDuckGo) will sometimes not show me the correct results but will instead have the correct results as sources in the ai search assistant

Which is obviously intentional to pressure people to rely on the ai because their regular searches mysteriously fail to deliver the obviously correct results

We’re just going to be forced into it and im pretty sure the battle is already lost and this is the evolution of the search engine, full stop ):
