"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
There are jurisdictions where a price tag in the store is almost always assumed to be an offer (a.k.a "public offer") and the company is legally required to honor it. In some circumstances the employees who screwed up and put the incorrect price tag will bear most the financial responsibility which sucks. That's why you shouldn't do it if you get the chance - it's not a legal loophole to stick it to a corpo, you're just ruining the life of some poor overworked retail employee who misplaced the price tag.
And yeah, the good faith part is also really important. If the person has asked a couple of questions to a chatbot, got recommended some products, asked if there's a discount available and then got an 80% discount out of the blue, got excited and made the deposit, it would probably be enforceable. If the customer knowingly "tricked" an LLM into giving out a bogus discount code, it would be very dubious at best.
