"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.

Was thinking about this today. With all the publicity surrounding this slop, it really seems like a psyop to get younger people (or anyone) into a mindset of "I shouldn't learn programming. There's no jobs for that and AI will just do it. I shouldn't make music or art, AI will just do it anyway". I've even fallen into this trap myself a couple of times!

I'm sure educators have already heard "why am I learning this, i'll just have AI do it" a million times already.

Really seems like a great plan by the overlords. Depress everyone so they are dumb and unskilled so they are forced to use your trash.

It's primary use is to help scared people live within their delusions and avoid facing reality. Be it advertising or propaganda.

I've heard Fascism described primarily as an aesthetic that everything else within it, including reality, flows from. GenAI makes it a lot easier to apply the aesthetic to whatever uncomfortable reality a scared lonely person may desire.
