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.

i don't know what yumeship is [edit. looked it up it's a kind of fictosexuality. like, crush on a fictional being] (ship makes sense), but these messages are awful. if you have a public facing contact (and you should) in the performing arts world, you will get them though. good luck!

OP, could you maybe repeat this in English? Thanks.

That's it, I'm officially too old to know what "it" is. This is just gibberish and I can't understand what they ate even trying to say. I can't even tell if the text is from a supposed human or Ai.

This is just a screenshot of mental illness, you don’t need to know more than that

This is what AI use does to your brain. It turns you into a raving schizoid lunatic with delusions about reality.

This person needs to be beaten, and I mean savaged.

I think this is bait, no?

It's just such a perfect storm of terminology, that I can only see it as deliberate.

  • yumeship, so dream shipping, where shipping usually means to imagine a relationship in a text that might be subtextual, or even fully imagined.
  • uncomfy/gen, so the usually not very serious gen z term uncomfy for uncomfortable, but then paired with the tone indicator /gen for geniuine.
  • F/O, so fictional/other, a fictional character you ship yourself with, but here applied to a real person they are actively talking to (more "at" than "to", I guess)
  • character ai, so the LLM that is configured to produce output similar to a character or person.

But still, poor Willow, that seems like a very shitty thing to receive.

Bait, severe mental illness or both.

This better not be real. Then again there was a girl in high school who was extremely into the idea that she was Trinity from the Matrix and I was her Neo. And I don't mean in a cute way, I mean in a genuinely concerning blurring of reality and fiction way.

genuinely concerning blurring of reality and fiction

Mental illness, very much like what it pictured in the post.

GenAI has already made this worse. It's not essential to LLM technologies, virtually the whole industry makes their LLM's generation patterns so deferential that they worsen the reality-breaks of people that interact with them enough, very much in a "Folie à deux"-style (tho, there's no "deux" there).

Thanks, you see this stuff in the waifuism community sometimes so it could be real.

I think it will eventually be known as Evidence.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

Exhibit B, because Exhibit A is the GPT logs

In deux ex invisible war there's an ai hologram of a pop singer. You can talk with her a fair bit, she likes taking you you, etc etc. Then you eventually actually meet the pop singer and she has no idea who you are and actively dislikes interacting with you.

It's weird to see this play out in real time.
