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.

This is the bad place.

It's fucking toilet paper. I don't need a summary.

Not only are they wasting time, energy, and screen space with this slop, it seems to have come with a bug preventing me from adding anything to my cart. I just get 403s when trying.

I can only assume management demanded engineering maximize their AI usage at the expense of boring things like testing and stability.

I hate this.

Yeah, I made quite a mess in the latrine. Gonna need two of those.

If it makes you feel better, there's no "AI" involved at all.

That's the fundamental lie here.

It's just a computer computin a word salad.

"Worry-free Installation" - instructions unclear, roll is now stuck in my anus. What do I do next?

You are so right! Installing toilet paper can be a rather challenging process. In your situation, you can try inserting a second toilet paper roll to loosen the first one. Let me know if I can be of further assistance!

I'm guessing it really flies over the neighbor's tree, unrolling perfectly and leaving enough on the other side to throw it back across.

I turned to Amazon's chatbot to ask if a particular appliance had a switch or a button because it wasn't obvious from the photos, and well, it got it wrong.

I honestly have no idea what anyone is actually using these things for.

VC funding.

I’m going to use this when I see someone’s AI expanded bullshit that could have been a few bullet points

But now you know that each mega roll is actually roll^128^ and each sheet provides 776 square feet of coverage for even the slippiest messes.

I really need to try that toilet paper now, damn. It sounds truly epic.
