"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.

Summed it prefectly why people hate AI in culture. AI can be very useful in science, medicine, engineering, and similar professions. When the AI is built upon very specific data set. There is no conscious reasoning behind why the AI did what when it makes art.
Generative AI is just slop. It takes previous works and repackages it what the code says. When people make art, there are hundreds of micro decisions that people make. Those micro decisions are gone when AI makes it. Gabi Belle did a great video of why they hate AI art. https://youtu.be/QtZDkgzjmQI
AI is generally only considered useful in professions people aren't actually familiar with. AKA it isn't in its current form to actual experts in anything.
"Generative AI is great at doing everything I suck at, but it's completely terrible at the things I actually know!"
Too many people think that this and do not seem to understand that it is pretty shitty at everything. Well, except getting people to kill themselves, I guess. It's pretty good at doing that.
Cue the serial killer telling me that I don't know what I'm talking about and that they could get people to kill themselves so much better and easier.
With the way AI companies seem to avoid liability for everything. Fantastic way of becoming a serial killer. Can we workshop some serial killer names?
ShotGPT? Anthraxic?
I was watching Ryan hall and his little AI bot the other day. It occasionally goes off the rails.. Weird how he keeps trying though. Sometimes a bit entertaining, but if something I was using was malfunctioning that much I would not consider it a useful tool.
The silver lining for the AI companies is that there's a lot of real humans getting real money that are also really shitty at what they are paid to do.
Coincidentally, Hollywood is pretty good at portraying every profession except the one I know!
