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.

Leave the autism out of this, AI Bros are narcissists, whether they have autism or not isn't really relevant.
-An Autist that can't draw, write or code worth shit, but still hates genAI with a passion.
Yeah. "Autistic" does not and should not imply "ethically stunted". I am autistic. Of course I am driven to solve problems. The drive to solve any particular problem, however, is greatly reduced when a large group of people whom I consider peers band together and state as loudly as they possibly can that they do not want it to be solved. Anyone who endeavors to solve such a problem anyway should re-evaluate their life choices and consider whether their clearly impressive talents could be put to better use.
Sincerely, an autistic programmer who can't draw for shit but still hates genAI with a passion.

Man I wish I saw this clear, easy to understand comment like two months ago when I was trying to exlain something in here. Failed, downvoted, aye.
Good summary.
Yeah, it immediately came to my attention.... because one of the most devastating career effects of autism is not being to able to go-along-to-get-along, which, at least for me, is largely an ethical thing. It's dishonest for me to pretend to care about you just because you are my co-worker or my boss.
I mean, I'm polite and courteous and am there for people when I feel there is a need, but the constant ball-fondling of the NTs has me at great social disadvantage.
Came to say this. Leave autism out of this. You can be a narcissist asshole without being autistic. And techbros are just narcissist assholes, autistic or not.
I can code, but I'm still not gonna use that to compensate my inadequacy at things other people can do well. I'd rather contact an artist for a commission than have the Plagiarism Machine produce it.
(I'd also rather not contact strangers with personal requests, because I'm worried I'd come across as overly obsessive with details to the point of cramping their style and I don't want to make strangers uncomfortable, so the odds lf me ever commissioning art are about the odds of me making friends with someone who happens to produce art in a style I like, but that's beside the point. "No art" is still better than "stolen art soup".)
