"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.

I see it as keeping at least one part of our community free of the incessant noise of the AI crowd. There are places enough to debate the pros and cons of AI ad nauseam. This community isn't that place.
Sounds like a really quick way to an echo chamber. That's not healthy. Also part of why reddit went to shit. There's nothing wrong with contrasting opinions.
That is true, but considering how anti-AI folks can give every legit reason in the book and will still get dismissed with "yeah but if we just use it responsibly" and other hand-waving nonsense, I understand why the mods would be a bit trigger happy. I'm sick of it, too.
I can appreciate the frustration in it. I'm staunchly anti ai and I don't like those people either. I still think they should be able to come and have an opinion and have it rebutted.
Contrasting opinions? In my community?
It's more likely than you think!

Lol almost went with the song link. Probably should've.
What’s worth reading crying about water, theft, and fear from people who don’t want anyone using it to be allowed to develop anything?
There’s plenty to be said but 99.9% of the noise is stupid and pointless.
I fucking hate AI and view it as an disgrace to human dignity, but the pro-AI people should be allowed to come here and look like fools of they like (as long as they're not using AI to write their posts).
Well unlike the others who commented you seem to post regularly here. So your opinion is actually worth something. Usually I don't have to do much in regards to moderation, just the usual spam. Its really only this type of thread where a popular person gets criticised for their AI use and their fan club shows up. Then I try to get ahead of that and kick them out so it doesn't fester. Free marketplace of ideas is all well and good until one side makes enough noise to drown out every opposing voice and I see the AI side very much as the noisy one.
Maybe that lovely quote could be in the sidebar of the community? Maybe above the rules that the banned users broke.
I think the problem is the ragebait article designed to appeal to the science deniers that you want to fester here. It's not hard to be against AI but it is really easy to be stupid about it. And you are all verrryyyy quick to point out someone else being stupid about AI so it is integral you take the L's when you earn them. And you are definitely earning this one. I mean how can you admit to controlling the narrative by banning people who want to rebut nonsense?
Everything about this place is just designed to enrage while science is completely ignored and personal opinion and feelings are treated as evidence. You stray from reality and complain about experts making decisions in their field. It's entirely anti-vaxx magat tier nonsense you are doing this on purpose.
that escalated quickly into whataboutism
Cool. I have a feeling what would happen, if someone was to foolish enough to argue against that.
I'm sure the commenters broke a clearly stated rule that they knew about.
