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.

Just got this in the parent app, Ive truly become unhinged in that I responded immediately to the post: Ai really? Slop.

I cant take it anymore. A lady at the checkout of my dr appointment yesterday had a large poster, ehem, large ai poster of herself as a queen with text on it like "phone queen" and it was so hard to stand there and not say anything.

Imma get introuble at my son's school this year, I can tell. Fuck Camino Alto, Fuck ai.

AI used like this is basically just the modern version of The Print Shop. It was immediately obvious back then that someone used it and it gave a similar low effort feel, but nothing to get so upset about. Also consider that the school staff may retaliate against your child in ways that may not be visible to you. https://archive.org/details/msdos_broderbund_print_shop

Except print shop wasnt trying to take over society with its tools.

I think literally killing the planet and continuing to use fascist's tools because they're lazy is worth getting upset about.

Wow... I haven't thought about Print Shop in decades. I used to make my crappy 'zine with that program many years ago as a bored teenager 😀

Print shop required people.
