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 even just with the advent of the internet, its a little silly to be making anything whe millions, perhaps billions, of others are also doing it. My music will never be as good as The Greats (people who practiced 10 hours a day every day and toured 250 days of the year), and I myself wouldn't listen to my own stuff (except in my head) so I'm not sure its worth all the time and energy.
Have you ever thought about learning things not to be the best but just to "annoy" your friends? Kind of like:
GenAI is every fascist's wet dream.
Right you are. I'm so disgusted how so many people are just offhandedly like "this is new shiny and good I use it all the time!!"
Braindead.
It's primary use is to help scared people live within their delusions and avoid facing reality. Be it advertising or propaganda.
I've heard Fascism described primarily as an aesthetic that everything else within it, including reality, flows from. GenAI makes it a lot easier to apply the aesthetic to whatever uncomfortable reality a scared lonely person may desire.
