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 heard this today - co worker used an LLM to find him some shoes that fit. Basically prompted it to find specific shoes that fit wider/narrower feet and it just scraped reviews and told him what to get. I guess it worked perfectly for him.

I hate this sort of thing - however this is why normies love LLM's. It's going to be the new way every single person uses the internet. Hell, on a new win 11 install the first thing that comes up is copilot saying "hey use me i'm better than google!!"

Frustrating.

So we have two problems: SEO gamification and now slopification. Expecting the same sorts of companies who let these problems become existential to fix these problems is…well, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell ya. 😂

I don't expect a fix, heh. I expect it to be squeezed past the grave. The search-crawlable internet is burning down, and no one with power is slowing it.

I suspect the 'web' will just get more balkanized into apps and such, and all the AI/search providers will reach into their own little silos for stuff.
