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.

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.

I can't relate with that kind of thinking. I like programming. I also like to be curious, lean something, solve puzzles, build something myself. I mean sure I could let someone or something do everything for me and not participate in any process. But where's the fun in that? And what would I even do all day if I don't use computers anymore because they do everything themselves? Don't read anymore because that's already summarized and the key facts stored? Not play a videogame because it plays itself? What would be the point in doing that? Don't humans do things, and that gives some sort of meaning to things and people?
