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.

"Artificial Superintelligence" = counterfeit intelligence. Change my mind.

Jesus, how far has toms hardware fallen that they pick up trumps super intelligence bullshit

They've been glazing the AI industry for a few years at least

It’s been irritating and frustrating to watch; gamers nexus is honestly a way better source these days - not to mention, imo they are unironically one of the absolute best investigative journalists out there at this point. They’ve broken a number of very deep-dive stories, some of which have turned into big deals in the wider news media landscape (see: Intel gen 13/14 CPUs).

Asi is an actual industry term. I haven't read the article but it is possible they do mean the specific asi rather than agi.

Ed: If you read it they specifically mean asi not agi aka "ai" and they use the term ai and asi correctly throughout.

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.)

Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence. November 4, 2026

Is there a difference between our normal LLMs that everyone is using and what she's calling superintelligence?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 24 minutes ago

Sounds like it.

They're calling for a ban on pushing forward with ASI, not a ban on LLMs.

It's a phrase used to separate his cult from everyone else. It's like the linguistic equivalent of wearing an adult diaper or slapping a maxipad on your ear

Marketing and newspeak.

It's the bullshit new terminology the Cheeto thought up with his half a braincell.

Thousands of AI-related and pro-MAGA .si domain names were reportedly registered or changed hands before President Donald Trump publicly promoted rebranding artificial intelligence as 'super intelligence'. Some are now listed for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars

Nope, just more grifting.

I mean, lets regulate the fuck out the industry but not in the way they want. In the way that actually hurts them and makes them cry. Forces them to rip all the "AI" forced implementations out of software, making it opt-in instead of opt-out (that is often hidden on purpose). Forces them to never be able to use any of the inputs and other interactions customers input into these systems unless they obtain explicit permission via in plain English request form. There are other ways, I am sure to make regulation hurt and burn their asses, but that is a start.

I think we should ban unicorns before they get out of control!
