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.

Couldn't have happened to a better company! Hopefully, OpenAI does run out of money and because they've done fuck all with gassed up LLMs this failure will be a Dark Sign on a Hollowed Tech Corpse, showing that this is a futile venture. AI cannot be real, because they never put any real effort into it as in figured out what human consciousness actually is, invested countless years+cash into building an artificial brain that functioned like a human one for example. Or even better, ways to power and cool these data centers without threatening the world with ecological disaster. Also, not threatening the livelihoods of people in general and actively stealing their data.

This bid for so called "AI" was just a get rich scheme that was never going to fulfill any of the hype or overpromising that Big Tech hope posting fuckwits and other shills promoted.

I honestly wouldn't mind AI, if it lead to a Post Scarcity society like Star Trek. However, a bunch of Corporate Ghouls could never be trusted to steer humanity in that direction.
