"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.

Does anyone hate how many people are apparently immediately turning to ai.
People were already trusting anything and everything without batting an eye. LLMs are just the natural continuation of that.
Bullshit generator on demand at the little cost of burning the planet.
I agree with you fully
I don't feel like there's much difference between this and what happened when google became popular
yes but also to be fair this is a Twitter user
Yes.
People are so hypocritical about it. "I'm scared AI might take my job." Then 5 seconds later they're asking google AI the answer to really simple questions.
I'm so sick and tired of hearing my friend talk to gemini and alexa(google and amazon ais).
Are people really doing this @grok?
I mean subject matter expert at work. I've had multiple times where I told somebody the answer to something. Going to have them paste their question and the response from AI in the chat after... 'confirming' what I said.
On the one hand, I think people immediately saying that are mostly being silly, but in the other hand that is a joke for a reason and could be mocking these people. Who knows?
In my experience, it's the opposite. People start by saying this sort of thing ironically, and then a large subset of people who don't get the jokes, or any jokes, start doing it seriously. See: The flat earth society, bronies, fetch.
"Does anyone hate that everyone is turning to google" -- Someone in 1999
And here we are, 30 years later. Google owns the world and is tracking everyone so they can sell their data to advertisers on an increasingly enshittified internet. While pushing increasingly resource intensive, useless LLMs.
Not sure what point you were trying to make.
My point is life changes, the world changes, society changes and every time that a big change happens there are people who adapt and people who see it as a catastrophe and try to fight it back. But you can't fight change you can only adapt.
AI isn't the end of the world, it's just a tool.
We were already heading towards global climate extinction, widening inequality, and automated war. These are not things biological life can adapt to. AI is not upgrading from analog to digital. It supercharges the rate of our demise.
