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.

This is taking into account just chatgpt by itself, not including the hundreds of millions of people who use the ai summary at the top of google who you don't hear about, you just see your uncle or family member copying and pasting it into the family chat
then you've got articles like

When average jane is using AI that's when you know the tech has crossed over into the mainstream, they sure as hell weren't using blockchain
The number, of course, is grossly inflated, since the statistical engines are now embedded in virtually everything, and it's really difficult to even avoid them.
I.e. If you type something in google, and there's an AI summary at the top, it 100% counts that as an 'active use'.
The person in the article needs professional help, please don't propagate anecdotal sob stories (that may or may not be false) on "Fuck AI". "Fuck" in "Fuck AI" is not what you think it means.
