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.

The messaging for climate change, often wrapped as a joke or not said directly to Gen Z is "this is your problem, [the consequences will come in your adulthood]" or "this is for your generation to solve".

B.S of course, By the time Gen-Z gets any power it'll be too late.

With AI I'm frequently seeing people, often fairly smart, good people saying things like "oh yeah AI is totally going to destroy X industry. I mean I'll be retired, so I'll be fine, but you'll have to figure something out".

My father says this frequently. My CTO at work who's been heavily pushing AI was asked "aren't you afraid it'll make you dumber?" responded "of course! But I'm retiring soon anyway, who cares". A lot of AI "leaders" often imply the same thing.

Often dressed up as a joke. I laugh along. It's never been funny and continues to get less funny.

Usually from older people, millennials are still young enough that ill effects will hit them before retirement (assuming you chaps manage to retire at all).
