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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

MODERATORS
Article doesn't say if he used AI to wholesale write his paper, which obviously is cheating, or if he used it as a resource like Google. Some details would be nice here.
I don't think using it as a resource would be a good thing. It's not a good tool for that. But I think it's perfectly ok to use it for making nice sentenses out of the data you found in other resources.
Its great for proof reading, tone, etc. Not perfect though. For important work I usually run my writing through a few tools (and humans).
If you click through to the court document the most detail it goes into is
Yeah, I'm on the fence because I do totally see how it can help and be a tool, at the same time though it can spit out a passable paper in minutes without much effort. I will say my knee-jerk reaction is if the school didn't want it used, they should say so; I remember a time when I had to sign a paper saying I wouldn't attempt to use a calculator (the teacher insisted no one would ever have one if they needed to find an unknown angle).
