"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.
You can help the mod team by making your reports detailed.
Effective reports:
- "The third image is a well-known anti-semitic trope"
- "Claiming that 'agentic AI' can outperform humans at all jobs is misinformation"
Less effective reports:
- "Breaks rules"
- "Misinformation"

MODERATORS
I want to push this outside engineering. It sounds like they want to train computers, not employees. Which, I don't know about your fields, but folk aren't exactly looking to mentor their future competition in the financial industry. So you pretty much get to teach yourself or go back to school.
Historically (at least in orgs that aren't maximally toxic) software engineering has actually had a great culture of seniors helping Junior and midlevels grow. IME most of us enjoy mentoring, and further enjoy having someone else who can do the boring shit for us. It's why, despite incompetent management being the norm, the industry has succeeded as much as it has.
Unfortunately I think this is changing now. The ownership class has finally pushed too far and I think a sizeable portion of us have realized that we devs have to stop maintaining the engineering cultures of our orgs to fight back.
