"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.

Hey hey now, calm down, there's no need to get personal here :-) We both dislike AI, can't we just agree to hate AI and leave it at that? Like Legolas and Gimli in LotR? I'll even let you toss me...
My main concern about AI is that it's rotting our cognitive abilities, yours seem to be founded in an environmental stance. I can respect that, and I think it's a valid argument.
I think both are bad, but can we agree to "AI bad. Don't use AI"?
Actually, no, I'm pro AI. I'm anti-capitalist. Much like how I'm pro housing and anti slums, pro food security and anti gouging. I strongly agree that AI is being used to manipulate and control us, and I believe it is the most effective tool to that end that any generation has ever faced.
My complaints are actually NOT rooted in environmentalism, I just acknowledge the point.
AI is going to be food and water for the human race and needs to be accessible and democratized. AI exclusively in the hands of private corporations is as bad as water in their hands.
We have common opponents, even if we disagree philosophically.
