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.

Ava the AI BDR

Gave your clients root access because they asked nicely

Building your business on AI is like building on quicksand.

And sent your financials to your top competitor after your email titled "DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH APERATURE SCIENCE."

If you'd like, I can delete your production server, and activate a power surge.

The only reason I advocate in favor of graffitiing this ad is because it might be construed as illegal to advocate for violence against any particular individuals or organizations

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

That’s because violence has been effective historically.

It’s not a plan A obviously, but let’s not pretend it doesn’t work.

On the other hand: The faster the bubble collapses under the weight of the promises it can not keep the better. Go ahead business "elite", fire everybody whose job you don't understand. But also make some noise when shit doesn't work out.

[–] FukOui@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

As time passes, I grow more doubtful whether the bubble will collapse. We have been in a bubble about 4-5 years now and VC money doesn't seem to be drying up? I'm not sure how long the market will stay irrational.

And even if the bubble collapses, AI tools will be here to stay (ex: ai agents/ code analysis tools in software development)

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 19 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Seriously. Sorry Steve, Ava took your job and booked 12 meetings. 8 were done flawlessly. Three were set between 1 and 6 am. The last meeting with a competitor's legal team was set and Ava so helpfully forwarded the company's confidential internal documents for everyone to see.

Savings!

M3ganAI: “you weren’t going to win that case anyway. It’s cheaper to lose this quarter than next quarter” Business major: “there’s a next quarter? Companies last that long?” M3ganAI: “…..I might be overthinking this, actually.”

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

Then delete all the data on the servers.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 18 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Booking meetings is not a fucking achievement. In my line of work having a bunch of meetings means shit is going off the rails. but I guess this ad is probably targeted at the worthless middle managers that don't know what to do with their time if they're not in meetings all day.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

My company sometimes we just have meetings for fun.

Like next week, ive got a meeting scheduled with my my friend, whos our marketing and sales lead, not because theres anything work related that we couldnt handle with phone or email, but just because weve both been super busy outside of work, and haven't had a chance to hang in a couple months.

So weve scheduled a 2 hour meeting for Wednesday end of day, and we'll grab drinks, go over the sales permitting and builds for the next month, and catch up.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 22 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

These 12 fucking meetings could have been emails you fucking AI fuck.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 25 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

What the hell is Artisan's problem? Being human and needing days off is a sin now?

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 14 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Always has been in the capitalist American dream.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

As soon as they automate labour and violence, they won't need the proletariat at all.

And given how much they've cared for us historically, I think this should be raising much more concerns.

Steve isn't coming because he's suffering a psychotic breakdown from overwork exhaustion, and Steve is responsible enough to know when he's hallucinating.

Ava hallucinates even more and even when she knows she does do it frequently, still presents everything as 100% reliable facts.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 26 points 14 hours ago

Yes. Also those 12 meetings are with people that don't exist, and the prospects were sourced from harvested personal data run through keyword filters.

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 11 hours ago

That's illegal in China now/soon. Replacing workers with AI to do exactly the same job is just fucked. Engineering or Automating the task so the roles are no longer needed is a different story. It would be like instead of inventing refrigeration we invented humanoid robots to collect the ice to replace the workers.

[–] blujan@sopuli.xyz 26 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It's as if they think the purpose of work is just to be as busy as possible and not to support people's lives.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

That is definitely a common thought amongst the management types.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 31 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

"Booked 12 meetings, 3 of which are at the same time and 2 with people you don't even know they just want to contact you about your car insurance.

I also researched 1268 prospects that are completely useless and never should have been looked at in the first place but high numbers look productive."

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I just researched 12680 prospects! What does it mean? Who the fuck knows. Sounds impressive though.

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 16 points 14 hours ago

No, its morally required

[–] sanbdra@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Replacing Steve because he had a bad day feels less like innovation and more like dystopia with a marketing budget.

[–] jamesrandysghost@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 hours ago

Dystopia with a marketing budget is a scarily accurate description of the AI industry's business model.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours ago

Just paint over it, in a solid color of your choice. Graffiti might inadvertently highlight it. Just make it disappear.

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 18 points 16 hours ago

If someone booked 12 meetings on my calendar I wouldn't just fire them

[–] Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world 30 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I've been using chatgpt for checking up on documentation, it's points you in the right direction most of the time, but omg it's like talking to a mirror, the self confirming bias is insane

[–] Eric@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

You're absolutely right about that

Hi this is a relatively new form of 'ragebait' ad which is designed to be shared on social media by people who hate it.

The vast majority of people think it's disgusting, but it gets shared around enough that the CO's which they're actually marketing to will see it and be tempted.

Please don't give it the attention it wants.

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 hours ago

Well, shit
772 upvotes at the moment I'm replying
And I fell for the rage bait too
Seems to work too well...

It would be morally corrupt to not graffiti it.

Business Development Representative. It's a title usually used by salespeople.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

What an absolutely meaningless series of words

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago

Isn't copilot down all the time? That seems pretty much the same as calling in sick, just without the notice or warning. Not to mention the fact that it takes ALL your AI dependent devs down with it.

[–] yggstyle@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago

It is morally correct to research executives from companies such as these and give them all the undesired attention they deserve until the problem "works itself out."

Roach problems get solved faster in the light and when you go for the root of the infestation.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 22 points 19 hours ago (8 children)

One of my colleagues tried Copilot in Office 365 for the first time a few weeks ago, and it scheduled an offsite meeting with completely the wrong person.
