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.

This is open class warfare.

This is basically saying "reject humans, become a Google/Microsoft/Anthropic subsidiary!"

Ava the AI BDR

Deleted your client's entire database because someone told them to as a joke (in an unrelated post on StackOverflow 11 years ago).

The only reason they say graffiti is immoral is because it makes it harder to sell property to people who've been condition to hate it.

[–] davetortoise@reddthat.com 248 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Hi this is a relatively new form of 'ragebait' ad which is designed to be shared on social media by people who hate it.

The vast majority of people think it's disgusting, but it gets shared around enough that the CO's which they're actually marketing to will see it and be tempted.

Please don't give it the attention it wants.

Building your business on AI is like building on quicksand.

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 3 points 1 day ago

No wait... let them cook.

The faster late stage capitalism collapses all the unnecessary SEO farm shellfront companies the better.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

When I first started my business, it was all about AI. Everyone said I was daft to build a business with AI, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It crashed and went bankrupt. So I built a second one. That crashed and went bankrupt. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then crashed and went bankrupt. But the fourth one broke even. And that's what you're going to get, everyone, the most stable business in all the world.

If Ava is booking meetings ,"she's" fired. The last thing I need is more fucking meetings.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Booking meetings is not a fucking achievement. In my line of work having a bunch of meetings means shit is going off the rails. but I guess this ad is probably targeted at the worthless middle managers that don't know what to do with their time if they're not in meetings all day.

On the other hand: The faster the bubble collapses under the weight of the promises it can not keep the better. Go ahead business "elite", fire everybody whose job you don't understand. But also make some noise when shit doesn't work out.

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Seriously. Sorry Steve, Ava took your job and booked 12 meetings. 8 were done flawlessly. Three were set between 1 and 6 am. The last meeting with a competitor's legal team was set and Ava so helpfully forwarded the company's confidential internal documents for everyone to see.

Savings!

There's a little accelerationist inside of me, that hopes that every company that can "hire" AI, does so and ruins their entire bussiness and goes bankrupt with it.

And sent your financials to your top competitor after your email titled "DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH APERATURE SCIENCE."

If you'd like, I can delete your production server, and activate a power surge.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

These 12 fucking meetings could have been emails you fucking AI fuck.

What the hell is Artisan's problem? Being human and needing days off is a sin now?

"Booked 12 meetings, 3 of which are at the same time and 2 with people you don't even know they just want to contact you about your car insurance.

I also researched 1268 prospects that are completely useless and never should have been looked at in the first place but high numbers look productive."

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 28 points 2 days ago

Yes. Also those 12 meetings are with people that don't exist, and the prospects were sourced from harvested personal data run through keyword filters.

I've been using chatgpt for checking up on documentation, it's points you in the right direction most of the time, but omg it's like talking to a mirror, the self confirming bias is insane

You're absolutely right about that

Big whoop. Steve can book 15 meetings, doesn't mean they are all needed. Steve probably can "research" thousands more "prospects", whatever that means. If you fall for these stats, you deserve your business failing.

The only reason I advocate in favor of graffitiing this ad is because it might be construed as illegal to advocate for violence against any particular individuals or organizations

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That’s because violence has been effective historically.

It’s not a plan A obviously, but let’s not pretend it doesn’t work.

Steve isn't coming because he's suffering a psychotic breakdown from overwork exhaustion, and Steve is responsible enough to know when he's hallucinating.

Ava hallucinates even more and even when she knows she does do it frequently, still presents everything as 100% reliable facts.

[–] plz1@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

The fact that they are called Artisan, which I hold akin to master-crafted by someone really good at what they do, infuriates e even more. Obviously this company won't even exist in five years, but hey, their board will get rich off idiot C-suite folks.

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

I don’t disagree with this post. But I think pretty much any ad in a public space is moral to graffiti. I didn’t consent to being shown ads in public places, they are an abomination to the peace of our public.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 43 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It is morally correct to graffiti any ad.

But we can start with this one :)

[–] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 28 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Truly 'ads should be banned outright' isn't popular enough of an opinion 😔

No, its morally required

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That's illegal in China now/soon. Replacing workers with AI to do exactly the same job is just fucked. Engineering or Automating the task so the roles are no longer needed is a different story. It would be like instead of inventing refrigeration we invented humanoid robots to collect the ice to replace the workers.

If someone booked 12 meetings on my calendar I wouldn't just fire them

One of my colleagues tried Copilot in Office 365 for the first time a few weeks ago, and it scheduled an offsite meeting with completely the wrong person.

Replacing Steve because he had a bad day feels less like innovation and more like dystopia with a marketing budget.

It would be morally corrupt to not graffiti it.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Just paint over it, in a solid color of your choice. Graffiti might inadvertently highlight it. Just make it disappear.
