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.

super revealing of the misogyny inherent to the space that "AI assistants" stopped being given feminine-coded names the moment tech chuds thought they were developing higher levels of autonomy

"i TELL Alexa what to do. i COLLABROATE with Chudbot. i will not reflect on this hierarchy at all."

but I remembering hearing somewhere that pre-recorded messages on trains/subways/in stations tend to use feminine voices for information, and masculine voices for instructions.

Dunno if this is still the case, but this was definitely true of the subway system in NYC when I lived there.

Female voice: the next stop is [x] street

Male voice: stand clear of the closing doors!
