"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.
- No misinformation.
- No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
- 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.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- 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.

Less effective reports:
- "Breaks rules"
- "Misinformation"

I asked plenty of questions on SO and never had a bad experience. But I put quite a bit of work in. You couldn't ask "how do i sort a list in JAVA" and get answers, you had to ask "here's some code I'm writing and it does but I think it should do because what's going on?" and people gave some really nice answers. (Or you could put "how do sort list java" into web search and get a fine answer to that; it's not like SO was the only place to ask low-effort questions.)
One of the bad things with AI is it's soooo helpful that when I get questions now it's like "please create a DNS entry for foo.bar.baz" and they're asking because the AI got completely stuck on something simple (like making a request to api.github.com) and wandered up and down and eventually decided on some nonsense course of action and the developer has given up on thinking about anything.
