"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.

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?

The content it generates is shit.

That's all I need.

Although, even if it weren't complete shit, it would also need to provide some undeniably huge benefit for all of humanity to justify the rest. Which, of course, it does the exact opposite.

The promoters of AI are promising to free the CEOs of pesky problems like unions and people who demand basic human rights, like time off and compensation. So, they're buying it, like they bought tickets to Epstein's island.

Eventually, after enough businesses fail and the rest of us continue to reject it, it will be dropped. And, a lot of currently very rich people are going to become a tiny bit less rich. Of course, they all have their golden parachutes strapped on, so as usual, it's the rest of us who will pay, somehow.
