"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.

What does the "video games cause violence" crowd think about this?
"haha have you seen this funny video it generated for me?"
Video games don't cause violence because video game developers don't actively try and convince you to perform real violence.
Video games COULD cause violence. Any software COULD. And this one did.
Pretty sure the US Army was trying to convince people to perform real violence when they developed a game for recruitment.
That was more training them to have a good view of the military. It didn't say "go out and kill brown people". It said "look how great joining the military is. Vote for our funding and join when you're older"
It's horribly manipulative PR that targeted underage kids pre-recruitment age. But it's not inciting violence.
