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.

I mean staff at the school probably just wanted a nice poster and don’t have the time or skill to do it. I generally hate AI but I also wouldn’t get upset about this. As lazy as it may seem, it might be someone doing the best they can with what is available to them.

They probably have tons of enthusiastic kids at school that love to design posters, and some are actually very good. But noooo run dem slop maschinen!

[–] mrnngglry@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Totally a better alternative. I’d be a terrible teacher.

These days... I don't know, maybe a few. Also if you force kids to do stuff it will backfire =)

I had to make a poster for the Special Olympics when I was in school. It was mandatory, and a "competition" in the classes lol

I made the most offensive possible poster I could but was the only one that followed the rules to a tee and won the competition, even my peers who actually tried were like wtf? Only a few know, so I can describe it but it was an image, looking like a crayon drawing (I used a drawing tablet), with someone (use your imagination for the drawing) running into a brick wall with stacks of cash and of course the obligatory fake coffee mug stain.

Let's just say it wasn't mandatory the following year and after graduating the program was shut down. Yeah I'm pretty sure I'm partially to blame.

I would suggest to hire the students to do it, not require them to do it. Give them some experience earning a little money doing art.

[–] myyass@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I agree except fair wage should be paid to set an example for their future.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

AGREE HOW DARE YOU yeah i probably should have included paying them a fair wage or better in there

[–] myyass@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hahaha, I figured you implied so, but getting an actual market wage is even a better motivator!

As i said in another comment:

Canva makes so easy to just get a template, modify it slightly in ~15-30 minutes and have something looking good enough, no need for a graphic designer

Agreed. I feel like some people here just get super triggered when they see AI stuff. I'm not a fan either, but getting infuriated because of every slop they see anywhere will become frustrating soon. The sad reality is that AI is easy and convenient and most people are lazy.

EDIT: I just noticed that this was posted in the fuck_ai community. Please continue lol
