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.

In my European country, mountain rescue is billed thousands of euro and it's not free, if it was due to stupidity

I can't imagine a 20 hour search+rescue being free in the land of the Free

A lot of counties and states charge now too. Some up front, (edit, maybe I am remembering wrong. but they have charged thousands of dollars for relatively easy rescues.) They got a lot of shit for it in my state in a county I lived in that is famous for religious extremist dickheads. I think they backed off the prepaid part after someone was caught in a river and waved his credit card for the news cameras before the authorities got to him.

This is actually an area that America is generally pretty good at i.e. rescues by the US Park Service are generally free, unless there's obvious gross intelligence.

Personally, I would consider using AI to plan a trip for multiple people as gross negligence, but considering this current government's position on AI, I suspect they weren't charged a penny for it.
