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.

Why do you hate AI? (slrpnk.net)

Not a ragebait post.

I started thinking why I hate AI and it's mostly:

  • It is pushed down my throat very hard for what it does;
  • The unauthorized use of content on the internet;
  • The worsening of the environmental crisis;
  • The content it generates is shit.

I am wondering do you have other arguments against it?

  • Deepfakes. And they're only going to get better.
  • Google is ruined. It's all AI slop websites now.
  • I genuinely hate how positive it is, how it writes 1000 words for everything, and gives 7 part answers to simple questions. No matter how many times I tell it to give shorter answers.
  • Frequently wrong. Every little detail must be double checked.
  • It can be kind of a dick about enforcing copyright or random things. I got in an argument with it recently when it refused to give me a movie quote. One sentence. After 5-10 back and forth messages, it told me the quote.
  • We're opening the door to charging for simple Google type searches. I worry that 15 years from now, I'll have to pay like $1 per question.

"after 5-10 back and forth messages it told me the quote"

What the actual shit are you even doing? Genuinely, honestly and seriously.

In your own admission you hate the way it speaks, you hate how it's used, you hate that you have to jump through hoops to get any semblance of a correct answer out of it, and you hate how it's effected the internet as a whole.

SO WHY ARE YOU USING IT? Stop paying these companies with money or data, stop letting them claim your time, and stop supporting things you admit are actively making the world a worse place.

Because Google is useless now. I tried Google first. Though AI was pretty useless on that occasion also.

Could/should have just used a search engine…

I asked a river rock and gained a deeper understanding than any corporation's mouthbot could ever provide. And this cool rock.

Oh the irony....

We’re opening the door to charging for simple Google type searches. I worry that 15 years from now, I’ll have to pay like $1 per question.

Search engines cost money to run. If you aren't paying for the product, you're being monetized some other way. You're the product that's served up to the real customers - the businesses who buy data and advertising.

That's why Kagi is a thing even though there's free search engines all over the place - you pay a monthly subscription, and then you are the search engine's customer.

Kagi is honestly amazing. I was expecting it to be a little better than Google, but most of the time it even takes me back to a time before the great sloppification. I look stuff up and I find it, that's all I want and I am gladly paying for that.
