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.

I mean.. Shouldn't we start differentiating generative AI from stuff that's actually useful like computer vision?

My head cannon is that AI = LLMS and machine learning = actually useful "artificial intelligence"

That's the way most discussion trends right now. Blame the tech bros and investors chasing a buck for killing the term AI.

Maybe we can start referring to AI devices as Genius Bars.

Absolutely! I hate cool and useful shit like OCR (optical character recognition for anyone who doesn't know) getting mixed with ~~content theft~~ generative AI

That would be nice. If you're talking about generative AI, then call it "generative AI" instead of simply "AI".
