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.

A group of ill-prepared climbers had to be rescued because Gemini told them climbing Mt. Shasta would only take 8 hours.

Honestly I hate AI with a burning passion. It's the stupidest shit on earth. Except for these climbers.

Because it's their own fucking fault. I don't even think we can blame AI for this one.

Wow this seems an jncredibly stupid show, and teenage viewers will believe it works as shown and not staged

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Exactly, this is sooooo dangerous for the mentally damaged people that follow MrBeast

Good. Hopefully he dies out there because of it. He won't, because it's staged as hell but a man can dream.

  • "Hey Google is this edible?" [showing an out of focus, blurry image]
  • "This is definitely edible, you can feast on that"
  • "It is bitter, are you sure about that?"
  • "Yes, it's definitely edible, you can eat that"
  • "I am dizzy, and by comparing pictures on a book it seems to be poisonous????"
  • "You're absolutely right! I accidentally confused that for another root. I will take note to do better next time"

[dies]

that is the result of listening to corporations

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

The steps of figuring out whether something is edible are worth learning and take about 3 weeks (or 3 days, depending on how much you care for the test subject)

Stupid humans tend to be the reason for a lot of the issues plaguing the planet.

[–] h0tbeef@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

People dying because they blindly followed the advice of an LLM is kind of like natural selection.

I assume the selection will become more rapid as the consequences of cognitive offloading begin to manifest.

[–] AlcoholicPenis@futurology.today 3 points 3 days ago

Agreed. Honestly should let it happen. People that stupid will hurt us as a species.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 days ago

Both things can be true
