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 mean, I guess if they're just asking it questions it's basically just a faster search engine so that's oka-

It all comes in addition to parents using ChatGPT to keep kids entertained by having the bot read their children bedtime stories or talk with them for hours.

Well they'd probably have still been bad parents pre-AI.

I have no problem with an automated book reader - so long as we can be sure the book is being read verbatim.

I loved Dr. Seuss as a kid before I could read. There came a time when my dad just borrowed an audiobook collection from the library, duped the tape, and basically told me to have fun.

Same with Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

Yes, it's crucially important to read to/with your kids. But when it's the same book the hundredth time, they can do with an audiobook and you can read them new stuff.

i got served an ad on a podcast this week for something called a miko mini plus and it freaked me the fuck out

Makes me wonder what horrors I'm blissfully aware of because I block ads.

i do too, but they still come up in apple podcasts for me.

you have suggestions for eliminating them? i was stitcher fam til they died and didn’t like any of the available alternatives so i ended up with apple.
