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.

Use it. Fuck it. You are cooked either way. It's not going to replace you, it's like basically the next evolution of basically an excel formula for tasks (claudes referencing tasks like matching actually does work pretty well), and it's like an evolution of a search engine. I am unaware of any successful companies that are solely staffed by fancy search engines and next gen excel formulas. You still need a human in the middle. This whole wave is like when they tried to offshore everyone a decade ago. Their customers left in droves because you couldn't understand the guy on the other side of the conversation, and someone being paid like 30 cents an hour or whatever crap those poor people are exposed to, they aren't going to have any sort of due care or attention to the details.

Execs continue to funnel money and burn everything to the ground. This whole AI thing might actually be a good thing in the long run, in a round about way, in that it's going to cause a financial catastrophe, and everyone is going to get so burned by all this overhype and promising that they'll both be terrified to spend money on stuff like this for quite some time+ it'll maybe force a day of reckoning where the world maybe finally wakes up as to what the value of a modern executive is (near zero).

Trying to use AI to do my job would honestly only make my job more stressful. It is a very detail oriented job and I do not trust AI to do it for me and I'm not willing to risk my job over having it done wrong, at least if I'm replaced I get severance and shit, if I'm fired I get squat.
