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.

Logical, 2 minutes to create content with AI + 10 hours for the needed review and debugging

Capitalism takes tools that help productivity and uses them in a way that makes people work longer hours.

There has been an hour reduction movement when capitalism was already well rooted. In France, we went down to 35h/week +- more paid leaves. Even in a conservative country like Japan, many companies moved to 7h45 workdays.
What changed is the weakening of capitalism regulation, especially in countries like the USA and even (supposedly) communist China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/996_working_hour_system.

This is like corporate's version of

Boss Makes a Dollar, I Make a Dime. That's why I poop on company time.

At what point do people deliberately start wasting as many tokens as they can while extending "hours worked" because they'll get paid anyways.

Currently it seems like all CEOs and board members are falling asleep saying "Chat take the wheel.".

Is anyone checking that the AI itself isn't "wasting" tokens to try to get them to buy more.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I just realized something...

AI tokens are just in-game currency, there is to my knowledge no published price guide on exactly what a token represents, making it very dificult to verify what you are actually paying for.

Loot-boxes for the corporate world.

I've noticed all chatgpt conversations end with a suggestion on how to extend the conversation. It's infuriating.

LOL So called bicycle for the mind, more like a tar the slow down the mind. Ugh, unsurprising.
