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.

good for scaring ai companys into stop fucking around but idk how effective this would like others have said.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 1 points 8 minutes ago

Seems wildly unenforceable

Incredibly dumb approach.

You should ban using AI for the purpose of legal disputes, medicine, etc, profesionally.

Its not about the output, its about what you use it for.

I am also 100% okay with legally requiring a clearly visible disclaimer that AI shouldnt be used for x/y/z and its output should alwats be fact checked or whatever.

But trying to outright ban specific types of output is pointless and trivial to circumvent.

Good direction, but very futile considering that guardrails on LLMs are about as real as LLMs are intelligent

Idiots still doing shit based on that.

It might not work, but it would serve to increase awareness that you absolutely cannot trust these machines to give you correct answers, ever.

Engineering and design.

You know that there are MBAs thinking right now they can get an LLM to design a mine, building or bridge for them.

Can we add to this the engineering of any physical object that could threaten human safety? If this keeps up much longer we're going to have buildings falling on top of us.

That might impact profits.

If those AI techbros could form a coherent thought without AI, they'd be very upset!

Those things should only be available to people who can pay hundreds of dollars an hour!

Amateur medicine is always cheaper

[–] ZapBeebz_@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Cost is a reasonable concern. How about we pass universal healthcare so this isn't a fucking problem to being with???

[–] jdr@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 hours ago

Right on! Though even in places with relatively good public health systems it can be very hard to get a psych visit. It might cost you no money, but plenty of time and effort and luck. Free legal aid also exists, but obviously more difficult to obtain that just asking liebot.

Now add history, politics, and war tactics. Also crime prediction and forensic analysis.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I don't know if this can be done without just banning AI. Have guardrails ever successfully been installed on these things?

[–] cavitationfetishist2@quokk.au 1 points 8 minutes ago

Nobody's tried.

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 2 points 1 hour ago

No, its still incredibly easy to get AI to tell you how to make drugs or a bomb.
