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.

This is absolutely delicious. The whole time companies like Microsoft have been pushing this bullshit, people who understand it have been saying the same thing: it's unsustainable both environmentally and financially.

Now Microsoft are trialling actually charging for this thing – arguably still below cost – and people are losing their shit about their tools suddenly being too expensive. Positively delicious consequences.

They fucked around with dependency on big tech and they're finally finding out. I have zero sympathy. When you rent your tools and your agency from an amoral megacorp, this is what you get.
