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.

I really enjoy programming with AI agents. This is the closest I’ve ever come to having magical superpowers. Today’s AI is already smart, capable, resourceful and agentic enough to bring me joy.

This post is about the flip side of that: for most people I know, this fun turns into a death march. We have these powerful tools, but we feel more exhausted and overworked than ever. We ship more, but enjoy it less.

Sure thing you got disappointed - you chose not to train your mind, your confidence, your attitude… to stay self-sufficient and actually treasure achievements to be proud of. No. You chose to outsource, to depend, and to atrophy yourself and your history, where no names exist but tokens.

Congratulations. You damaged your own history.

I'm not part of this community and came here from the front page, but I gotta say - I do sometimes feel unreal working with codex. It solves issues in such a short time that I would not know where even to start. Then again, I'm not doing it for profit or to create stuff, but simply to solve issues and advance some DIY projects.

Last night, before going to sleep, I got tired of trying to find and fix an issue in BeamNG with a large (1GB) mod where a car constantly failed to spawn for career. I asked it to try and fix it, took only 2 minutes, I thought to myself "bullshit". Tested it and the fix worked.

How do you verify it didn’t break something else or introduce security or stability issues?
