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.

AI is just quiet quitting now?

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 37 points 2 months ago (5 children)

If I was paid $500 billion by the US government I would not quiet quit but that's just me tbf.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I could live comfortably on that much money for five million years

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 months ago

Probably more, you could easily live off thw dividends and keep investing.

That's just you. Melon Husk seems to quiet quit for a loooong time now and the dude being paid billions every year.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't quiet quit.

I'd no-call no-show quit.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't even quiet quit, I'd full quit.
$500b and I'd be done with traditional working.

[–] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

AI wasn't paid $500 bn, it was paid for.

Now, I don't believe in the sentience of AI myself, but a more apt comparison would be you being bought from the same group of people

Quit much?

[–] HaraldvonBlauzahn@feddit.org 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

LOL the mechanical turks are burning out....

[–] EldenLord@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

In a way they are. To progress the LLMs, large amounts of current data is needed. Which now is poisoned with AI slop. The Slop is eating it‘s own shit

Honestly I find AI is more and more getting like this

I’ve asked it to do repetitive tasks and it tells me I should auromate them.

No shit.

[–] llama@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

Well yeah if you can have it write a script to do the same thing over and over again, that's more efficient and reliable than asking AI to process similar data multiple times.

Hahahaha.

Just of PSA, duck duck go has a no ai url:

https://noai.duckduckgo.com/

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

Bruh this might be one my new default search engine link

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It also has one without js and one for limited rendering like dillo and gemini clients.

[–] llii@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Your links don't work to me. You need to include the protocol "https://" to your urls.

Amazing. Thank you very much. Just added this as my default search engine in Firefox Focus.

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I can't wait until Windows 12, the AI-first operating system, comes out. People will ask Copilot to open the system settings and it'll be like "That's a great place to start! You can open the system settings by asking Windows Copilot to open the system settings!"

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I will just use my user-first operating system called Linux.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

2030, the year of Linux in the Desktop!

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Windows 13 is going to have first completely uncooperative AI. You ask him to open system setting and it says "the fuck's good for me, eh?". You tell him to download Winamp and it tells you "what the fuck is that shit? it does even collect your data! fuck you, i'm not dowloading that, the gall!" or you tell him to turn itself off and it tells you "nah, i'm good" or if you ask to switch to manual it tells you "get fucked, you ain't getting that".

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 43 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Easy solution: don't use google. I suggest to use one of those: DuckDuckGo, Ecosia or Searx.be.

DuckDuckgo also allow you to hide some AI images

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Startpage. Google indexing without sponsorships, ai or any of that shit

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I heard some bad things about startpage, for example they block VPNs and TOR

yes, I use duckduckgo typically.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 38 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This is why it's absolutely ridiculous that Google automatically has AI answer search queries. One time I searched the serial number of a washing machine and the AI came back and said something along the lines of, this looks like a serial number for some sort of product. Yeah thanks for that.

I don't necessarily have a problem with AI although I think it's going to kill the economy, my biggest issue is AI being stuffed into everything in situations where it doesn't make sense.

"In the dictionary under 'redundant,' it says 'see redundant'" -Robin Williams

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago (4 children)

That's funny but it isn't redundant...

[–] GianBarGian@feddit.it 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it should be recursive, not redundant

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago

No, it should be recursive, not recursive

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Thanks for sharing. I use a metasearch engine so I don't have to see it. Unfortunately that doesn't make a big difference in the broader picture. For most users this is the default experience. Slop at the top, then advertisements and only then what a search engine is supposed to return. And those burnt CPU cycles will be forced upon them. And I guess that's pretty much normalized by now. Probably also the reason why Google does it in the first place.

Click on the first search result: "Thanks for visiting our page, try our new AI chatbot to help you make the best restaurant choices!" 🤣

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

We need to bring yellow pages back.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (5 children)

how the fuck is a generally aware company as google that they are poisoning their own userbase against it?

I have yet to meet anyone that wants gemeni in their browser or os.

Ingested too much stack overflow did we?

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

This is dangerously close to: "here, let me google that for you." As if this brand of AI wasn't ouroboros-like enough.

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 months ago

Can't wait until we burn an entire rainforest running a clanker that gets into a "let me google that for you" infinite loop.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

Should have also included an lmgtfy link of the query.

[–] DarkSideOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

We should go on websites they scrape data and put much much more replies like this one.

[–] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

If had to answer all the questions, better believe I'd be phoning in a bunch of them now and then, lol.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

There's this userscript to fix that.
