"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.
- No misinformation.
- No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
- 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.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- 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.

If you think calling AI users "creators" is bad, then let me remind you it was normalized the moment people called ~~Steve Jobs the creator of Apple computers and the iPhone~~ Edison the creator of anything at all. Edison was the first archetypical techbro, and Steve Jobs was the first modern techbro.
In my opinion, there is an important difference, though: The software that people "create" with Claude, ChatGPT or whatever could have been created by most competent and skilled software developers, i.e. nothing ground breaking or world changing has been created by people using Claude or ChatGPT (at least not as far as I know, please correct me if I am wrong). However, this is different with regards to the iPhone or the light bulb, they were truly historic and world changing "creations".
As far as I am concerned, it doesn't really matter if you were the true "creator" of a certain product, software or invention, as long as you manage to sort of market the product and convince other people of the value of said product or invention (and as long it holds actual value to people).
This has been going on for centuries. Scientists’ staff doing all the work of proving an idea. Same for physicians. Artists, also…a ton of people in their employ doing the actual art executing the artists’ ideas. The big name gets the glory while those under them hope to get noticed enough to go out on their own and repeat the process. These days it still happens, plus we have managers and CEO’s taking credit for the employees doing all the work of making something happen. Hell, I bet the guy that had the idea to build the Pyramids had hundreds of what constituted engineers and artisans of the day build the things and said “Look what I made!”
Speaking of, if you ever get to the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, make sure to check out the tombs of the craftsmen who actually built the tombs for the kings. They're just outside the Valley of the Kings, arguably just as beautiful, and mostly ignored by tourists.
