"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.

Dell's CES 2026 chat was the most pleasingly un-AI briefing I've had in maybe 5 years

I’d say 90% is pretty high.

My sample size of “a few people not on Lemmy or Reddit” hate AI shoved in their faces. They may use ChatGPT some, or Copilot at work because they have to, but that’s it. They are interested in that AI specifically, not their fridge generating body horror on demand.

I"ve had my uncle, complete luddite, ask me how to get his computer to stop bothering him about AI because "I don't understand it."

Interesting. I imagine some people (especially older folks) might find it a bit spooky. So human, but also not? How to make sense of it? It’s like the uncanny valley of technology, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people who weren’t raised with tech find it particularly unsettling.
