It wasn't bad enough that our younger brothers have misogynistic weirdos publishing targeted content to lure them into the manosphere. Nah, we needed big tech to get them hooked on synthetic girlfriends before they understand agency and consent.

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.
