"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.

I placed an online order and used a coupon code I got from some browser extension. The seller refused to ship the item to me until I gave them more money because they said the free shipping code was meant for internal use only & not for customers.
In that particular case, I'd suggest the seller was within their rights, honestly.
If the code wasn't obtained through any official means provided by the seller, then the seller has no responsibility to honour it, even it happens to 'work' in their checkout.
But the seller was obviously stupidly petty, and that feels pretty pathetic on their part.
They should have just sent your stuff, and taken the experience as notice to replace the voucher code that got leaked, so it doesn't happen again.
