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, I kind of agree that there's a lot of undiagnosed and underreported mental health issues in our society, and it's not surprising that highly functional people can turn out to have serious mental issues lurking just below the surface.

But there's also a sort of gatekeeping going on here, suggesting that "well as long as you're not already sort of psychotic you don't have anything to fear from AI psychosis" is sort of like throwing the low-key psychotic people to the wolves and basically saying they don't really matter to us because most of us aren't them. At least, we assume we aren't them. And we don't even know that for sure. We could be them.

Lots of smug people with 20/20 hindsight always love to believe there are always signs, but signs aren't proof, and you don't have proof there are always signs.
