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.

With DeepL moving to AWS, I'll obviously stop using it and I am thus in search of a new translator solution.

I feel, however, as if most translators are jumping to AI and I do not trust the technology enough, so the question arises: are there any good AI-free translators left? I need both for PC and an Android app; searching on F Droid and Discover (KDE Plasma) brings some results, but I thought of asking you guys if you recommend something in particular.

Thank you very much and have a nice day :)

I've been using the one built into Firefox, but I'm not 100% sure it's not using AI. I don't think it is, but I never double-checked.

It is AI, but it's not GPT.

Not all AI is the same, and we should try not to throw everything in the same bin.

Definitely AI. It's one of the two good thing Mozilla did with AI. The other one being the CommonVoice project.

It is! It’s disabled if you flip the new “disable all AI features” switch they added
