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.

No, it's not. Artificial intelligence is something that is artificially created, like a machine, that can think like a human. A human clone is human, literally.
I think we're both standing from extremely different points of view here on what AI, that is artificial intelligence actually is. But I concede that my statement about it being impossible to create is hyperbolic. We're can't say for certain that it's impossible.
... Because... It's wrong.
I wouldn't call investing power and resources to replicate human capability progress. It's literally going backwards and rebuilding from scratch. Is this line of research honestly worth pursuing at the cost of our climate and environment? It's the same with the Wright Brothers; their technology paved way for increased consumption of resources and rate of spread of disease.
Yeah we get brand new shiny things but at what cost? Is it worth it in the long run? Is it worth automating human capability when we've messed up every single step of our planetary ecosystem?
I would much rather live in a world where all the effort and resources that is currently put into 'AI' redirected into sustainable systems. That, to me, is progress that is worth pursuing.
