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.

But what if I really want to take a shortcut into creating "art", or making software ? And what if I find thinking to be really tiring?

Please, I need to automate every aspect of my life because a lifetime of corporate propaganda convinced me that all that matters is "productivity" and "measurable outcomes". Let me use AI, please.

Here's a helpful flowchart to answer your question:

I don't understand that nerd "flowchart" shit, I'll ask ChatGPT to explain that to me.

Thanks anyways.

this is what gpt said:

It’s a joke flowchart.

Here’s what it’s “saying”:

  1. The question in the oval is “Do I need AI?”

  2. Regardless of any conditions or inputs, the flowchart leads directly to the answer “No.”

So the meaning is:
👉 According to this chart, the answer to “Do I need AI?” is always no.
It’s a humorous oversimplification suggesting that people often ask whether they need AI, but the chart claims the answer is straightforward and always negative.

Idk how to read, I need ChatGPT to read your comment aloud

Do you want to save people's lives by diagnosing respiratory diseases months before even the most competent doctors could buy analysing x-rays and CT scans?

Then yes you need AI

AI has it's legitimate uses and just blindly treating like the devil incarnate only hurts the many many valid criticisms of AI.

I'm not OP but I guarantee you this meme is about generative AI and not the machine learning applications you're referring to

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah true, but I'm really proud of the work my team does and very invested in it, so will always come to it's defence when people say AI in general is bad, even if they probably mean genAI

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 weeks ago

Not generative, no. Degenerative. LLMbeciles and their ilk. What most people refer to as "AI" today in common parlance.

But they knew that. Just like you did. They just need to be dorks to get that flagging ego of theirs hard.

[–] TriangleSpecialist@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Fair, but I always take "AI" to mean in particular generative AI (images/videos or text/code), and even more particularly, the models which are shoved into anything and everything and that some of us are "strongly encouraged" to use at work. I suspect many of us do in that comm.

It would be great if language was never abused, and we always made the distinction between this and other applications/fields of statistical learning but marketing departments have decided otherwise...

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

that's not me that needs it, though, I'm not in that field

AI in the setting of radiology is a somewhat useful tool in niche areas but not replacing radiologists anytime soon.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

But how accurate is it. If anything like any other use, it's dubious at best.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Due to the nature of it we aim to minimise false negatives rather than false positives, but our current version gives a correct negative around 98.6% of the time a correct positive around 87.8%

Compassionate fucking Buddha do people—sorry, not people: tech nerds—ever not comprehend the notion of "context" and "common parlance" and such.

Here's a thought: fuck the fuck right fucking off from a group literally named "fuck AI" if your fucking fee-fees are so fucking fragile you can't fucking not be a fucking dork, M'kay?

Buh-bye, bozo.

I mean being autistic makes that a bit harder for me, but don't let a little ableism get in the way of your weird little circlejerk.

But think about all the “artists” and “creatives”! With this meme, you are denying them all that hard-earned pay for “performing” their sentence into a text field!

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

But Hustlebros really need that few dollars of ad revenue they can get by posting slop on Xitter and Facebook...

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Grok, do I need you? Be honest.
