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.

The only people who would use AI for creative work are those who are unwilling to take the time to become good at it or are incapable of doing so.

They're really after the money.

I'll grant that there will be people out there who also don't have the ability to notice that it's garbage being generated.

Where I do live, not only there is absolutely poor art education and appreciation, but there are people who don't care about the artwork -- mostly event and product advertisements on Facebook -- they'll handwave the damn thing as long as it delivers the intended message.

I use AI to help me write poetry in 2 ways:

  1. I have a thick accent and it helps me count syllables and determine what the meter will feel like most readers

  2. I feed it completed poems and ask it to analyze it for themes and metaphors to ensure that my meaning is being conveyed properly

Rhyming dictionaries and thesaurus.com for the rest

LLMbeciles completely suck at counting anything or checking anything mechanical with text.

As an example, if I try to write a jueju and pass it to an LLMbecile to check if the rules were followed, it will fail to notice:

  1. Jueju must have 5 characters on each line or 7 characters on each of their four lines. The LLMbeciles often don't notice faux jueju that have, say, 8 or 6 characters on a line. Or that alternate between 5 and 7 characters. Or other routine counting analyses like that.
  2. Jueju have very specific rhyme patterns. The LLMbeciles will not spot (ever!) faux jueju that don't conform to that.
  3. Jueju have, as their single hardest element (and the very reason why the poetic form is so well-regarded: someone who can write one of those to this requirement has formidable language skills!), a tonal pattern they must obey.

These three items are entirely mechanical. Counting characters on lines. Checking rhymes. Checking that words conform to tone patterns. There are programs you can get that will mechanically check that for you in microseconds. They're that mechanical and regular. But LLMbeciles can never successfully negotiate all three, and will quite often fail on all three.

And I haven't even got to the part of structural checking; things that require comprehension. Like how the jueju must be formed from two couplets. like how the two couplets form a kind of question/answer, call/response, state/reason or other such relationship. How line 3 must be a twist that shifts the subject of the first couplet to give new insight into the overall topic of the poem, etc. There's just no way in Hell a next-word-guesser is going to handle that.

It works enough for my needs
