"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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

My company recently had a workshop on how to fit AI into extant workflows. We split into groups, got assigned a workflow (in my case completely unrelated to anyone in my group's actual subject area) and then had to figure out where AI could enhance the workflow.
It went about as well as you'd expect. Someone asked an LLM for input, and the input that came along was about as irrelevant as the rest of our ideas were.
Took two hours in total and we were about 30 people, so say 60 billable hours spent on nothing. That's a 1½ work weeks for a single person. Brilliant use of everyone's time.
But the good news is you all got to fuck around for an hour and a half and get paid for it. Take advantage of those opportunities every moment you can.
