"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.

Has anyone thought this through to its logical conclusion? If we're constantly resurrecting old talent using AI, or whatever the tech du jour is, then won't we stagnate culturally?
Culturally, scientifically, intelligently, you name it we’ve reached the peak. AI is just recycling what humans have thought and said, According to our new ai overlords we just coast from here
Then why doesn't life feel like coasting?
You must not be a billionaire.
The endgame for this insane push for AI just seems to be to enforce a global surveillance state, nothing else.
That's why the push to build all the AI data centers does not match with the demand for the tool.
That's a problem for next quarter, kiddo.
Answering for Capitalism – follow the money.
No, the cost of doing this is far more than hiring an actor.
Culture isn't defined by the use or abuse of AI.
It's a tool when used creatively with full public knowledge, and a weapon when it's used to surreptitiously decieve.
As an artists tool for seamlessly putting a character into a story, is it any different than how videogames are made with an actor's face slapped onto another actor's motion captured movements?
It's not like the aforementioned film producers are trying to hide their use of it.
A global surveillance state, is the end goal. These uses of AI are merely to push that goal forward by giving use to the tool for the masses to accept more data centers
