"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.

The personal computer market is not going anywhere. It may get smaller, but there will always be enough people who want to do their computing on their own hardware that there will be a market for personal computers. The market has only been affected by other personal computing devices. Personally, I don’t think many will be interested in cloud desktops. They’ve existed for a long time, and I don’t know anyone who uses them. Why on God’s green earth would I want to lug around a laptop just to not use it to be a laptop?
The kind of people who would be interested in cloud desktops are the kind of people who already get by just fine with a Chromebook. And how are you going to convince those people to instead spend not only $200 on a device, but then also $30/month on a cloud browser?
