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.

Help me squirt some more chatgpt

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 78 points 2 days ago (4 children)

So fucking relatable. Recent experience: I called up my brother who is a car guy to get some help getting an old car started. He's worked on cars, farm equipment, and sold car parts. He knows his shit.

I gave him what I was seeing and what I had done and he sends back a screen shot of what ChatGPT said about what I explained to him.

I would have rather had a 30 minute conversation of us going, "I don't know. Have you tried this? Yeah, oh, well, then, um, hmm. Maybe it is the defanglinator. Or the wires to the pulsometerizer." We're exercising our brains, enjoying each other's conversation, solving a problem together... which is more important than actually solving the problem and why I called you, you dope!

Oh, and the LLM response ended up not being relevant or helpful. We're all fucking cooked.

Kinda sounds like he’s tired of being g a free consultant.

Error. <_> I do not compute. xD

Alas still, being an expert and yet sending someone LLM response is a low blow. xD

If you send me uncurated AI output, I will just pipe it back into ChatGPT and reply the result.

One hundred fucking percent. This slop has ruined peoples brains already. I'm about done socializing with any human who uses it.

Imagine how brainrotted they will be in 5 years.

You are right! AI is shit and do wastes a lot of resources -- do you need help with anything else?

One of my coworkers is a proud advocate of LLMs. What I’ve noticed is she’s become more scatterbrained and less confident when put on the spot.

Our new COO came into my office the other day and started asking some prepared questions. When we got to our MDM for our iPhones she pulled her phone out and started feeding my answers into an AI to get follow up responses for me.

Not sure how well she'll do... she is quite on the ball for a lot of stuff but I'm certain that the LLMs will rot her brain. :(

[–] violentfart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

“Why the fuck are you even here?”

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Being confident on the spot died the moment you could look something up on the internet. LLM's did not do that.

And it was dead for me at birth, if I'm 0.1% unsure about something I'll stutter and hesitate to pull the trigger.

Third party thinkers

[–] adaveinthelife@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Maybe I'm using it wrong, but every task I give copilot comes back with empty documents. It shows me a preview of the work it did, and it looks okay, but the documents are always empty or lack the actual content while full of filler.

And it always responds with oh yes you're right there is no content, here you go this time with content. No content.

This has to be a joke, right?

[–] YourMomsTrashman@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're absolutely correct - There's no content in your documents. 🚫📃

Would you like me to format your documents again, without actually leaving them empty this time? ✏📫

My boss has become the person in blue. Can't get any work done now because follow up questions are to hard for him now.

Why do i hate this art style? Not that it's bad, although i think it kinda is, but it's got a real negative association in my head. It's like seeing a rockthrow comic and immediately getting icked out by the Nazi that made it.

Edit: wait, i think it's because it reminds me of some gamergate comic

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah, even though pizzacake takes stances I generally agree with, her work has that "this comic only exists for me to express my social and political views in a way that amplifies my voice online" type of quality. This type of art usually is:

  1. Flat or pillow shaded for simplicity, because the beauty of the image isn't relevant to its purpose, and the artist needs to produce it quickly to respond to current events
  2. Depicts characters, even protagonists, in a mockingly exaggerated way, because this is the main form of stylization the comic must support in order for the author to make fun of strawman versions of positions they don't like (because anything beyond a strawman, regardless of position, does not fit in a digestible 4 panels)
  3. Simple and repetitive poses with no dynamicism, often because the artist is not a very skillful artist, because they only developed the skill to make comics like this in the first place

Basically, it's visually unpleasant because the only reason this has any visual component is to make it more eye-catching compared to just text. Unlike most art, it does not need to be visually appealing, and in fact even benefits from being visually unappealing, as an art style that pisses you off a little is more likely to make you feel a vague sense of there being a problem to resolve - which the comic tells you is the issue it presents. Even advertising has to be eye-catching first, but memorable and compelling after that, because you need to take it in very quickly. Whereas this has the expectation of reading built into it, which frees it from what little need to be pleasant it may have left. The visuals are nothing more than lubricant to help the text go down.
