Perhaps if they didn't buy up all the RAM, HDDs , GPUs and making PC building / home computing so expensive, maybe we might consider liking it a bit.
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.
Don't forget that the Internet is currently ruined by AI-slop that is continuously flooding once interesting human-created content. This is probably my biggest gripe of AI. I've significantly reduced my screen-time, basically stopped coding in my free-time because of this sloppy mess that we call Internet right now...
Nah I'd still hate AI because it's trash
There was absolutely no reason for AI companies to go batshit crazy. This was pure supply shock. Each level assumed 10x exponential growth. A sane 2x or 4x would have been manageable for all suppliers
CEOs are generally speaking… calculating. They just want this in the news. They want people talking. Who is interested in an IPO nobody is talking about? Nobody gave a damn about Oracle after they collapsed until their CEO started doing ridiculous shit just to be in headlines, like sparring with Red Hat, as an example.
Calculating and immoral
Scum Cuntman, surprised when people do not like slop being forced right in their faces.
I remember a time when tech ceos actually used the internet. It seems that now they just get their MBAs, a job, and then spend all their free time avoiding technology and listening to other people tell them what they want to heat
The headline is a lie. The CEOs are not confused; they know why. And in the article, they don't even pretend they're confused, because that's too ridiculous to claim even in a media blurb.
They are mad at everyone at work for not using the AI tools more. I was told that we aren't seeing productivity gains because people aren't using the tools right but I think it's more that the tools don't live up to expectations so people don't care to use them. They are expecting all this work to be done faster and it's causing everyone to work more. Any productivity gains is from us working all hours of the day
I'm in a similar boat, my company isn't pushing it too hard but they are definitely on the AI train and I truly haven't found a great use for it yet. Everything it puts out still has to be double checked so it seems like if I'm doing the work anyways I might as well just do it right the first time.
They shoved AI everywhere without any concern over what the users want. Now the users are resentful, while the AI bros go Shocked Pikachu Face.
I can’t help but wonder if the public reaction would’ve been more positive if we hadn’t been inundated by AI intrusions in seemingly every facet of technology. In a way, I can appreciate that the hatred is home-grown - the biggest issues I see revolve around the ethical issues stemming from AI’s lack of regulation, and ethical issues don’t tend to make the public react. The fact that people already found their own reasons to dislike AI means we’re all on the same page. If the public were fans, I’d just be dismissed as a bleeding-heart for giving a shit about right and wrong.
But here we are, standing together in hatred. So beautiful.
Artificial intelligence is a primary keystone for a science fiction civilization to move its labor from the people to machines, but they obviously ignored the other keystones such as equal rights, shared wealth and further opportunities to all humans. The wealthy want all the wealth and opportunities to themselves; cut the people out of the equation to gain more market and never have to pay the lower class citizens ever again. They clearly designated themselves no longer human. We the people think for ourselves and we the humans should easily abandon them. No longer serve them no matter how much they offer, no longer entertain them no how much they give, no more trust no matter how much they plead. They ignored us for so long and destroyed our world, why should we hear their pleas?
Key difference, what is called AI in science fiction isn’t the same as the AI we see today. These companies just adopted the term AI from science fiction as a marketing strategy. Not because it’s actually representative.
Some people are now having to clarify AGI, rather than just AI, because the term has got so diluted.
“It’s extremely hurtful, frankly,” said Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang in a January interview about the “battle of [AI] narratives.”
Isn't admitting you are confused and hurt by why customers don't like a product tantamount to admitting complete incompetence as a CEO?
They regard themselves thought leaders. They are confused why their thoughts aren't being followed en masse.
EDIT: just explaining their logic as I suspect it, not condoning anything here :)
"Thought leaders" is one of the most ridiculous bullshit phrases to ever come out of the English language
I work for a CEO who constantly uses this phrase.
What sort of "thoughts" has he led with, you ask? Gamification, then blockchain, then crypto, then AI. That leadership feels an awful lot like trend-chasing to me... but I guess that's why I don't make the big bucks.
No, this isn't an accident. It's a PR ploy, and done entirely on purpose. The idea is to push the people who aren't critical towards AI to their side. By being confused and not understanding why people are so mad at these innocent little men just doing their best to bring something good to humanity, they're humanising themselves. Most anyone can relate to fears of having their hard work rejected by others, and they're playing on that.
I wish people would stop platforming this nonsense.
You know what's extremely hurtful??
Get something that does not work being forced down your throat.
"We are working on a technology that will accelerate climate change while hopefully making most of the population unemployed in a world where unemployment means you barely get the basic necessities of life, if even that! What? Why are you all booing?
Really illustrative of how out-of-touch people become when they reach a certain level of personal wealth.
They keep telling us how cool and fun it is. Why won't we believe them? They know what's best for us, and they're going to make us take it whether we want it or not.
Not me, I've never touched the shit.
I don't hate the AI that much. It's useful in some specific circumstances, but mostly is just a fun novelty toy.
I hate the CEOs forcing it down our throats.
Ok, but you should hate it though. AI, as implemented by capitalism, is downright detrimental in so so so many ways. Even if we set aside the huge environmental costs, energy and water price hikes in communities near data centers, loss of jobs due to AI, theft of IP, and sloppification of the internet, it is also doing things like convincing my friend with bipolar that they should attempt suicide.
AI
- Added zero actual value to humanity
- Can do any task about 70% correctly about 70% of the time
- Drove up electricity demands through the roof
- Gave humanity the option to make childporn from their armchair
- Is generating such hardware shortages that computer hardware prices have doubled, tripled, quadrupled, and more to come!
- Increased misinformation by factors of thousands, if not more
- Broke CAPTCHAs for good, thanks for that
- Caused wild random growth of super datacenters that pollute like crazy and take away all the groundwater everywhere
- Steals all data from everyone everywhere with impunity
- Highly confident in giving the wrong answer
- Literally made ma y people lose their mind into AI psychosis
- Do I still need to continue?
AI tech bro's look at that list and ask: why do people not like AI?
We also hate the CEOs
Because we are not absolute morons incapable of independent thought like they are
You know what I HATE?
Look at the FUCKING SENTENCE STRUCTURE OF THE ARTICLE!
It's written by FUCKING AI!
I think the world is ready for me to start my blogging again. Complete stream of consciousness garbage no AI could replicate 🤣🤣🤣
"We're only trying to make all of your jobs obsolete while paying politicians to not tax us, making all consumer electronics outrageously expensive or inaccessible, getting obscenely wealthy by stealing your works of art, making your power bill more expensive, consuming all of your water supply, and accelerating climate change. Why aren't you clapping?"
I wonder why people don't want cloud based AI running their microwave
Jensen can suck my Huang for being such an idiotic shill of vaporware tech that is simultaneously undermining something like 30-40% of the fucking GDP at this point. Fuck you, dude. You’re actively accelerating us towards an economic depression that is going to fucking dwarf 2008.
Jensen can suck my Huang

This makes it obivous that tech ceos are just so out of touch with reality
The integration of AI into regular, deterministic software bothers me a lot. As a developer, I want my IDE to be consistent so I can feel comfortable that autocompletion and other functions do what I expect. But recently, and at an accelerating rate, I find the IDE to make inconsistent autocompletions - often suggesting a lot more code, which often contains errors and non-existant references.
I could use AI every now and then for work, but I wish it only helped when I'm explicit about it. Currently, it kills workflow and sucks out energy both from me and the grid.
Boom? If it were a boom, everyone would be prospering by it. It is a money and energy sucking wealth generator for the already very rich and nothing else. It doesn't even do anything reliably after stealing the world's cache of information to "train" it.
It doesn't even generate wealth, either. It just denies money to labor and that's it.
I don't know man Tech CEOs keep talking about their latest shit will replace people's job jee makes me wonder why?
Completely out of touch!
I don't hate it but I do understand why some people do. Actually I do hate it too. My bank is using it for Customer Circus...and its that a circus.
Because like them it’s so incredibly lame
AI, and now the internet in general, is a net negative for humanity. It's been hijacked by the rich, who manipulate headlines and social media using, in part, artificially generated pictures. People are believing that garbage. Saw a few people believe videos of cats shooting machine guns. Seriously.
It's the same with evangelists. They say society hates god, but what it really hates is assholes who won't leave them alone.
