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.

That's what you get for talking to The Lying Machine.

Yeah, the free tier is utter dogshit. I don't even know why it's exists, as it only put me off.

Imagine there was a demo for Halo, and it was just The Library.

Chatgpt did something similar to me yesterday. I needed help figuring out what to install to fix an issue I had. I asked.

"Do I need to I stall package A?"

It said

"you need to install pacgages B C and D, But dont install package A, you dont need that. Here is the command to install

sudo apt install A B C

I apologise I made a mistake I accidentally gave you the wrong command because you dont need package A. Here is the command you actually need

sudo apt install B C D

Like what the actual fuck! The results are so useless I wasted my entire afternoon and evening on this word salat generator trying to debug my issue and I never got any closer to a solution. What a waste of resources

Glorified (but surprisingly effective) random word generator strikes again

they want you to believe it's sentient.

it's not.

that's a trained response, clearly, because a machine can't typo.

That's also why every single AI interface mimics "chat"windows and uses realistic human voices.

Its just like any other scam: filter everyone out except for the most vulnerable potential victims and then latch on like a leach and bleed them for all their worth.

It not "mimicing chat", it literally is a chat. You throw words at model, it tries to come up with answer. This back and forth texting need to be represented in UI somehow, hence = chat.

No need to overthink and come up with conspiracy theory of something trivial. There a plenty of real reasons to hate "ai" companies.

"Chat" implies there's someone talking to you but there's no one there. I'd say that makes it mimicry.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 5 points 3 hours ago

It's just copying (plagiarizing) the text it was trained on, which did have typos and people apologizing for making typos.

[–] the_q@piefed.social -3 points 4 hours ago

I'm fairly certain many humans aren't sentient either.

get this fecal porn out of here

(not op, but) Hear me out — what if it's actually okay for me to use those "free plan" chats? Like, I'm not from US where most of data-centers and companies located, I'm not the one paying with my electricity bill and taxes for those "free" llms — average american Joe is.

Dunno if this meme popular outside of post-soviet counties, but it's closest analogy as I see it:

Meme explanationI believe it was made as anti-capitalism propaganda, which is kinda ironic, considering how divided poor worker class and government people in USSR were (google shops "Berezka" that was only available for upper class), but I digress.

Usually accompanied with slogan (which became name of the meme):

This gentleman will pay for everything

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 56 minutes ago

Unlimited free plan chats on the first world.

Sonnet is pretty much an idiot, though.
