"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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

Tuta left a comment on Mastodon a couple of days ago that they are researching using AI to automate repetitive tasks. I'll try and find the comment.
Edit that didn't take long https://infosec.exchange/@Tutanota@mastodon.social/117518313763499149
Isn't.. that a reasonable use of the tool? Freeing up people's time from drone work to do more meaningful stuff?
Handwritten automation is possible with code, all they'd have to do is actually do the work to identify the repetitive tasks and write the code for future edit + reuse. They just want an excuse to get high on AI, to throw away their expertise. To risk the privacy of others to that end.
That's why I switched to Posteo from Tuta, as they are desperate to be like every corpo scum and use AI. I also left a detailed message as to why I left, it was scathing.
Yes, but also that's what regular programs are for. If it is a repetitive task that does not require any creative input, a program can achieve it, and a programmer can be paid for it. There are few tasks that can't be automated using logic parameters.
I do agree with you that that is what AI should be used for, but I'd only support it if the AI was run locally. Commercial AI should not be centralized.
No. No AI use is acceptable.
Absolutes and sweeping statements are rarely true. I can't think of a fault for using local AI for scientific pursuits, nor using local AI for recreational pursuits.
